Episode Details

Duolingo and other companies use unconventional hiring methods, such as observing job candidates behavior during taxi rides or monitoring their interactions with staff, to assess their suitability for roles. These tactics, while effective in weeding out unsuitable candidates, raise questions about fairness and equity. Some companies, like John Lewis, are pushing back against these methods by sharing interview questions in advance, aiming to create a more level playing field. The traditional multi-stage interview process can be time-consuming and may deter top talent, suggesting that smarts can be demonstrated without the need for elaborate tests.
