Ep. 8: Interviews - Please Fix Thx - a podcast by Raj Parekh & Sanchit Wadhawan
from 2020-12-06T00:55:17
In our season #1 finale, we’re coming after job interviews and the corporate recruiting process. You know, those things that you stay up all night stressing out about when you’re looking for a job? Companies are bad at evaluating talent, it turns out. Interviews are really ineffective and biased. Case interviews are even worse, and we’d like to see them go away completely. And why do we need AI in our interview process?! If you’ve ever been discouraged while job hunting or interviewing, we hope you’ll relate, and if you are in charge of a company’s hiring process, we hope you’ll reevaluate your practices.
This is our last episode of season one. To all who listened, thank you so much! We really appreciate all of you. We will be back in 2021.
