Is hiring a chore? Does it leave you second-guessing whether a candidate will thrive — or flop — once they’re on the job? If hiring feels more like a game of chance than a thoughtful process, it may be time to rethink how you approach interviews.

In this episode of Manage This!, host Mandi Gosling sits down with Rotman executive-in-residence Richard Davis to unpack what really leads to better hiring decisions. They talk about how to identify the qualities that drive success in organizations, how to tease out key personality traits, and why it’s perfectly fine to ask one or two clichéd interview questions — when you use them the right way.
