It's great to see that someone was successful at something - but why they chose to do it and why they did it in that particular way tells you more about them as a person. As such, this is a better way of drilling down into what motivates a person and therefore acts as a better predictive tool for future behavior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Knowing what they did is valuable only in helping you figure out what they are like.

A young candidate will have to lean on their academics considerably more than an experienced candidate with years in the industry - or even just in the workplace in general.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For Dalio, academic attainment can be indicative of intelligence or skills, but it is of limited use when trying to understand whether this person would be the right fit for the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Memory and processing speed tend to be the abilities that determine success in school (largely because they\u2019re easier to measure and grade) and are most valued, so school performance is an excellent gauge of these. School performance is also a good gauge for measuring willingness and ability to follow directions as well as determination. However, school is of limited value for teaching and testing common sense, vision, creativity, or decision-making.&nbsp;Since those traits all outweigh memory, processing speed, and the ability to follow directions in most jobs, you must look beyond school to ascertain whether the applicant has the qualities you\u2019re looking for.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"sift-through-all-reviews-and-references\">\n<h2>Sift through all reviews and references<\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-content\">\n<p>It's important to make sure you're hiring the best person for the role, not the person best at interviewing for the role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As such, it is useful not just to look at past achievements but to inspect the relationships that candidate has maintained in their previous employment.<\/p>\n<p>Reviews and references - ideally recent and professional - provide insight into how someone works in a team, how they relate to others, and how they cultivated their reputation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Don\u2019t rely exclusively on the candidate for information about their track record; instead, talk to people who know them (believable people are best), and look for documented evidence.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"perform-the-interview\">\n<h2>Perform the interview<\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-content\">\n<p><span>Dalio doesn't give a step by step breakdown of how to conduct an interview.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There's an obvious reason for this.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Through his focus on these principles he has chosen the right people for this particular role and he wants to see the human connection which can be created between those interviewers and the interviewee.
