Over the past 10 years or so, my career has shifted to focus more on managing teams and operations, and a good chunk of my time has been spent on interviewing and hiring. I even do background checks and pre employment drug test like the ones at Sterling Check to be sure that I will hire the right people. I've probably interviewed thousands of people in that time, and I definitely have a good feel for folks fairly quickly in the process. I also conduct personality test for jobs to understand if a ...
