Resumes and interviews provide scanty insights into someone’s actual ability to perform at work. They leave out information on other crucial criteria too—such as how well an applicant would fit into the organization’s culture, how much drive and motivation he or she has and how well the person would work with others. To screen for these criteria, you can analyze data from a wide array of sources, including samples of a candidate’s actual work; scores from assessments that gauge a person’s skills, cultural fit, competencies, work motivators and interests; work competition results; and social media contributions. Such data can help you gain a fuller picture of a candidate and can often be highly predictive of someone’s future performance at work.
