This is awesome. Reality trumps predictions. Like in Pretotyping . It’s no use to stay in Thoughtland and decide based on opinions (what the hiring process generally is). Much better to Pretotype, that is test in real life, whether a candidate is really a Positive or is really a Negative as determined by the hiring process.

What does a “pretotype hire” look like?

Maybe a one-off assignment to validate if the candidate is worth what we think (confirm the Positive) or is worth much more than we think (disprove the Negative). We might also learn that the candidate is not worth enough… shame, but now we know for sure rather than live in the doubt.

Or a trial period with the objective to learn if the candidate is a good match, rather than just to teach them the job as trial periods are currently treated.

How else can we learn fast whether a candidate is a good match for real?
