Transcripts

play00:00

here I also work with lot of CEOs and

play00:02

sort of advising on how to run your

play00:03

businesses and one of the things I work

play00:05

with them on is recruiting and

play00:06

oftentimes what I tell them is that you

play00:08

have a recruiting system if the kind of

play00:10

recruits are getting you don't like you

play00:11

should go back and you want to

play00:12

systematically fix the system right so

play00:14

what a lot of firms seem to be doing is

play00:16

they seem to be doing a lot more testing

play00:18

and getting empirical data right because

play00:21

we're data driven on whether or not the

play00:23

candidates are good in the collaborative

play00:25

environment and whether they can present

play00:26

ok so the variations I've heard but I

play00:29

have never been in a scene personally or

play00:30

they will give a case to a group of

play00:34

three people and you sort of do it

play00:36

together

play00:36

right so basically what that ability is

play00:38

I mean they want to see if an

play00:40

and that's really what it is right

play00:42

because you could even if you're in

play00:43

there with somewhat peoples motor

play00:44

schools

play00:45

if you pull what I call you know and

play00:46

Good Will Hunting the Harvard with

play00:47

Harvard you know we think that it's this

play00:50

right dude you're gone right

play00:53

other ones are I've seen I've heard of

play00:55

cases where it's all done and now you

play00:58

have to present so that's not more

play01:00

similar to what you guys are used to and

play01:01

that's more about can someone synthesize

play01:03

and so what I infer from that if certain

play01:06

firms probably had problems with getting

play01:09

people who could do frameworks and cases

play01:10

but they couldn't present to clients and

play01:12

so therefore they were no longer

play01:13

independent rights which cause issues in

play01:16

terms of how they think about their

play01:17

business and same with like

play01:19

collaboration if they're getting people

play01:21

who are sort of very abrasive to end up

play01:23

good people skills either internally or

play01:25

especially with the client I mean like

play01:27

if you screw up a client situation

play01:28

that's like really bad and so they're

play01:30

probably testing a lot of that and once

play01:32

you understand the mindset which we

play01:33

talked about this morning makes a lot of

play01:35

sense right if you're concerned about

play01:37

people being jerks then you put them in

play01:38

a club environment and you see if they

play01:39

become a jerk and if you're in a jerk

play01:41

and an interview environment they're

play01:42

likely to be a jerk you know in a client

play01:44

situation same with collaboration and

play01:47

that's apply a big one because they're

play01:49

you just want to pretend like you're not

play01:51

an interview and do it like you would in

play01:53

a regular business environment and it

play01:55

really is well peers if it's a good idea

play01:57

so it's a good idea let me add to that

play01:58

or politely say I disagree with that I

play02:00

think we could go in a different

play02:01

direction because of XY and Z

play02:03

so those are sort of variations I've

play02:05

seen mostly when firms I'd I get the

play02:08

impression it's not there's still

play02:10

they're sort of still doing the core

play02:12

traditional case interviews and then

play02:14

adding on some of these as opposed to

play02:16

replacing it that's the impression I

play02:18

have but I don't know for sure that

play02:36

probably varies more by individual

play02:39

interviewer yeah so I wouldn't

play02:41

necessarily draw a conclusion that a

play02:42

firm has one blast or another until I'll

play02:45

tell you how I started interviewing it

play02:46

was

play02:48

oh crap someone's sick today Victor can

play02:50

you step in I mean that right by the way

play02:52

you got three minutes so comfy elevator

play02:54

okay I got you a case

play02:55

gotcha snowing outside wow they're ice

play02:58

skate I'm doing ice skating case okay

play02:59

and so you know the interview is

play03:01

thinking like you know I'm trying to

play03:02

like sabotage them you know make life

play03:04

difficult and I'm just trying to get you

play03:05

off my to-do list right and I just

play03:07

pulled something just looking out the

play03:08

window I saw something interesting and

play03:09

I'm making up numbers just like I did

play03:11

earlier today because I was just happy

play03:14

to the situation if I was sort of had

play03:16

little more advance notice

play03:17

I probably organize my thoughts my

play03:18

current case remember some key numbers

play03:20

see the sort of a des plaines would be a

play03:23

nice clean case and then and my

play03:25

preference would be to actually use a

play03:26

real case because the numbers are more

play03:28

interesting so the only difference

play03:29

between is what a real case was the ones

play03:30

you sort of see me sort of demonstrate

play03:32

will be you will get more hard numbers

play03:34

and it won't be as elegant and clean and

play03:36

obvious a conclusion as like the NBA

play03:38

China case where I clearly wanted to

play03:40

make one conclusion it'll be a little

play03:41

more convoluted so it's a little harder

play03:44

it won't be obviously one key factor

play03:46

driving it'll be like one big thing one

play03:48

medium thing a lot of little things and

play03:49

they have to sort of recognize that and

play03:51

make some adjustments accordingly

play03:54

a judgment call when you're going to the

play03:56

next few cases you mind helping us kind

play03:58

of look at when when you've kind of

play04:01

found the AHA okay part because I feel

play04:04

like someone must have a tendency to go

play04:05

really deep and even pass the AHA we're

play04:07

trying to dig a bit good point okay find

play04:10

problems two and three because we can't

play04:12

get off solving um I'll give you okay

play04:15

I'll do that and also give you a little

play04:17

thumb it's partly a function of time

play04:20

yeah okay so if you have a 40-minute

play04:23

case in every watched a 30-minute case

play04:24

interview your framework has you know

play04:26

four parts right so you get like what

play04:28

seven seven minutes 7.2 minutes whatever

play04:30

it is per branch if it's a very

play04:34

interesting one you go ten minutes

play04:35

you're probably okay if you're still a

play04:37

hour twenty minutes you get one branch

play04:38

and you get 10 min to do the other three

play04:40

you probably won't get enough of the

play04:42

information to make an intelligent sort

play04:44

of recommendation so a part of it is

play04:45

sort of time-based and the rhythm is

play04:48

it's interesting and clearly like

play04:50

clearly relevant but a little

play04:52

counterintuitive you're not sure what's

play04:54

going on but something weird is going on

play04:55

it's worth the extra time otherwise you

play04:57

hit seven minutes it's probably a good

play04:58

time to sort moving on but I'll do that

play05:02

because I actually asked a good point I

play05:03

can see why someone would notice them

play05:13

you
