#Interviews #Amazon
.
I just had a talk with a hiring Bar Raiser about an interesting case happened to me at a de-brief early this week.
We were hiring a guy, who have consistently showing gaps in one of the principles. He was "behaving wrong" in past engagements with his teammates, and also showed the same behavioral pattern in the interview.
.
After the loop was finished, I was certain we would reject him - for not learning on mistakes. In a de-brief though, the team decided to hire him, believing he would be a good fit for Amazon.
.
When I discussed this case with the Bar Raiser, he mentioned that we quite often (if not always), "hire with a risk". However, we always evaluate how big the risk is, if there are overweiging stengths, and if we can come up with an effective and realistic short-period mitigation plan.
.
Anyways, my point is keep doing well at the interviews and do not under-estimate Behavioral part of the interview. If you messed up with one LP, the others can save you.
