Excellent idea for Employers!

Something that really made us smile, from Hacker News this morning:

"Decades ago, in the days before uber, my employer would fly in candidates from college campuses as part of an onsite interview. The candidate would fly in the night before and we relied on a taxi service to bring the candidate to the hotel. Then in the morning the same service would bring them to the onsite and of course bring them back to the airport at the end. It was a whole curated process.

Little did the candidate know - we knew the driver quite well and he knew many people in the firm. More than once there would be a candidate who thought they could be rude and disrespectful to the taxi driver because ... you know... its just an immigrant taxi driver with a distinctive accent. Oops! Cost them an offer. But just as well. Avoided some arrogant jerks in the process."

If every company did that there would be a massive unemployment problem...

And maybe in the long run some potential behaviour changes.

Though as nice as this sound in theory, I feel like there are some gaps in the validity of the method.

There are gaps but I doubt that anyone would complain about a reduction of entitled people causing others problems inside or outside of the workplace.

A twist on this conversation. The Undercover Boss series was often entertaining.

I should think that firing your own boss is a dream for many employees!
