After analyzing 20 years of data, McKinsey discovered their hiring process favored “perfect” resumes over what really predicts success: resilience, real-world experience, and the ability to learn. Listen to the full IdeaCast episode here:

Now they regret not hiring me!

Few have made more money saying pedestrian platitudes than McKinsey

@HarvardBiz The shift towards valuing resilience and real-world experience is crucial. In a volatile economic climate, skills like adaptability can make a difference. Emphasizing these traits might even be key to addressing wider issues like inflation or high government debt.

well didn't Mckinsey do well in last 20 years with their "alleged" flawed/biased/favored hiring process. Easy to sell idealism than probability.

The obvious eludes this professional class. Clarity isn’t their vibe.
