This week we were introduced with the methods for collecting ad combining information. The mechanical methods and judgmental methods are informed to us. The idea that “gut” knows best is not completely wrong. Gut plays about 10% role in the hiring process. Hiring managers are experience people in their field and they at times seem to know that certain candidate is the right one. The judgemental approach does not use any substantial data but the decision is based purely on informal and unstructured interview. Similarly the mechanical approach is all about test and depends entirely on test scores.
