Ep 267: The Dangerous Resume
Contact: matt@metashift.co.uk\nIn 2006 I wrote a blog about the imminent demise of the resume, arguing that they were on longer relevant in the new digital world. Fast forward 14 years and resumes, or CVs if you live in the UK, are still the most common anchor point for the recruiting process. The problem with resumes is not just one about digital relevance; now it's about the effectiveness and integrity of recruiting itself. So what are the alternatives and how can the industry move forward.\nMy guest this week is Sterling Grey from The Chemistry Group, an organization that has been pioneering new approaches for employers to assess and hire talent.\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\u2022 The dangerous implications of recruiting via resumes\n\u2022 Conscious and unconscious bias\n\u2022 What are the alternatives and are they working in practice\n\u2022 Increasing data points to improve selection\n\u2022 The cost of a mis-hire\n\u2022 Humans and technology\n\u2022 Will recruiting be done differently in the future\n\n Subscribe to this podcast in Apple Podcasts
