    Usually these employee screening systems are implemented by completely out-of-touch CEO’s and upper management who want to seem like they’re still taking “bold action” and such during their endless meetings.

    I was supposed to use a really convoluted and stupid personality profile screening system to determine who would be best fits to hire for my team. I ignored it entirely, just had a lot of interviews and got to know the people. After making my decisions, I got called in for choosing candidates that “didn’t fit the personality profile for the position” and I said I would take full responsibility if something went wrong.

    The people I hired lasted there longer than me, a couple got promoted.
