Have you ever interviewed a candidate and had an instant connection?

In this clip from The ‪@frontlineindustrypodcast‬, Scott Springer, President of Chelwood Consulting Group, gives a personal example of how he fell into the trap of affinity, or "Just Like Me" bias during an interview. Unfortunately, the friendly view caused by affinity bias may cause you to skim over answers, miss red flags or justify a candidate’s weak answers.
Interviewing as a team and considering others' observations helped him achieve a more balanced assessment in future interviews.
