How to Avoid Groupthink When Hiring Take-aways: 1) make it clear to interviewers that they should not share their interview experiences with each other before the final group huddle, 2) ask each interviewer to perform a few steps before the group huddle: a) distill their interview rating to a single numerical score, b) write down their main arguments for and against hiring this person and their final conclusion. This will help them stay true to their beliefs once the discussion starts, which leads to less biased predictions, c) If interviewers are emailing in their numerical scores and thoughts on a candidate, don’t include the entire group in the email, 3) the hiring managers should take note of the average score for a candidate (categories: hiringinterviewmanagement )
