Standardized tests or prepared interviews are getting useless. Thanks to the Internet and commonly available information about hiring process helps to all candidates to pass throw the hiring system even when they haven’t got predispositions for the job. It is easy to answer the questions of hiring specialists when we know what they want to hear. We can also adapt our CVs to get the job, write an excellent motivation letter, and act like a team player during the AC and so on. There is a guide for everything on the Internet.

To be sure that we are hiring a real talent, with a large portfolio of skills and perspectives let’s skip the classic hiring process and do not ask the candidate about his last jobs. Let’s ask them about their hobbies, passions and experiences. When people are talking about their passions, there is a spark in their eyes. And we need them to be such enthusiastic also for their job. It is something which can’t be pretended, something real. After we find out this sparkle, we can ask him how he could use the experience from his hobbies in a job he applies to. That’s the moment when we will find out his creativity and adaptability. The real talent takes his job as a hobby, so he will behave similarly.
