A lot of people and organizations get the talent recruitment process totally wrong. It gets difficult to judge people on the spot, leading to the wrong hires, or the right people who do not fit into the situation. To avert this, the most important quality in an employee needs to be tested for, which is empathy. Contrary to popular perception, empathy can in fact be tested for. Usually people ask aspirants questions about themselves. While answering for themselves, narcissists obviously have an advantage in selling themselves. So, questions such as “greatest strengths” or “greatest weaknesses” must instead give way to “what would coworkers in your last position say was your greatest accomplishment/weakness?”. In this way, candidates can see how their actions can have an impact on others.
