Summary

90% of hiring managers make one common mistake. And that one mistake often costs them the best talent.

My guest today Anna Papalia says to hire someone who's the opposite of you. And science is on her side. Anna specializes in helping hiring managers learn how to conduct interviews that reveal the best candidate for the job. Her new book is called Interviewology, the New Science of Interviewing.

Today, Anna shares how you should conduct the best interviews. And what you can do if you want to acquire the right talent for your business. Plus, Anna shares a really cool story about her upbringing—including her inspiring rise from sleeping on an air mattress to an Ivy league education.
