Organizations make most of their decisions based on data. But not hiring, which, you know, is a pretty important decision. 🫤 When hiring is based on gut feelings instead of ⭐ skills ⭐, the results are biased and costly. Good candidates get passed over. Poor-fit hires get onboarded. And teams feel 🌊 the ripple effects 🌊 🗓️ On August 7, join Kieran Snyder (Textio Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Emeritus) and Michelle Lopez (Principal Consultant at Paradigm ) for a data-backed discussion about how to fix it. 🏹 Save your spot by using the link in the comments! #StructuredInterviews #FairHiring #TalentAcquisition #Recruiting

🫧 Hiring managers, beware: ChatGPT isn’t your interview co-pilot. General-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT might ✨ seem ✨ helpful when you’re stuck trying to come up with interview questions, but using them opens your org to risk. 📽️ Our co-founder and Chief Scientist Emeritus Kieran Snyder explains:

Too often, interview feedback relies on vague impressions rather than data. When hiring decisions are based on “vibes” instead of skills, bias creeps in, and the best candidates get overlooked. 🗓️ On Aug. 7️⃣, join Kieran Snyder, our Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Emeritus, and Paradigm Principal Consultant ⭐ Michelle Lopez ⭐ for a powerful conversation on improving hiring with evidence-based, structured interview feedback.

🗣️ You probably have a feedback gap. And it’s hurting your top performers the most. Here’s what we mean: Most companies ✨ think ✨ they’re giving feedback. But the people who get the most of it? They're the ones getting the lowest-quality feedback of all. It’s vague. It’s subjective. It’s personality-based. When the most talented people don’t get specific, actionable input—they hit a ceiling. And when they hit a ceiling, they leave. 💔 Read more on why feedback is your hidden retention strategy: https://lnkd.in/gPcc-fcW #performancemanagement #people #HR #retention

💡 It’s not just about the paycheck. The best candidates aren’t only looking for compensation—they’re looking for impact, growth, flexibility, and authenticity. And when there's a mismatch between what a company says it stands for and what it feels like to work there? Top talent walks.

👋 Meet Elizabeth Falvo, our Director of Customer Success, based in Seattle. Liz has been with Textio for over 7️⃣ years 🎉 📸 When she's not working, Liz loves photographing wildlife, traveling, reading, diving, cross stitching, theater and trying new restaurants. 🍲 Liz is lucky to have traveled a lot, and checked off a lot of bucket list trips. Next up ❓ 🤿 🪸 Diving in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. 🤿 🪸 When she ✨ is ✨ at work, Liz sometimes thinks about the advice she'd give her younger self: "Relax a little and don’t try to fight every battle! I was so fired up about everything early in my career. Chill out girl!" A song that always gets her in a good mood: 📻 📻 'What’s Up' by 4 Non Blondes 📻 📻 🗒️ Weirdest / funniest interview moment? "Once I had someone ask me what superhero I’d be," Liz says. "Not which super power (which is obviously the power of supersonic flight so that I never have to wait at an airport again), but which superhero. Like… what were you trying to accomplish my friend? I did not get the job 🤣" Watch this space as we showcase more of the talented humans behind the Textio brand! #LifeAtTextio #CustomerSuccess #Seattle  

Too many hiring decisions come down to a “soft yes.” You know the one: A candidate who's not a "heck yeah!" but not a clear “no” either—just someone who seems “good enough.” But soft yeses turn into hard regrets.
