If a candidate fails to pass his coffee cup test, he will not be hired no matter how good his business ability is.
The statement of this person in charge has quickly aroused discussion on the Internet. Many netizens engaged in human resources revealed that there are a few such unspoken rules of interviewing, and some bosses will even observe how fast the candidates drink water and which dish they will order when they eat.
The netizens read the jaw dropped This is the recruitment of employees, or picking lackeys?
Not long ago, a well-known financial software company in Australia, the former general manager of Trent Innes, hereinafter referred to as Innes, revealed in public, he will take the candidate to the pantry before the formal interview to wander around, and then pour each other a cup of coffee.
When the interview is over, he will carefully observe whether the candidate has sent the coffee cup back to the pantry, and personally cleaned.

If the candidate completes the above process, he will immediately accept the offer. On the other hand, no matter how good the candidate’s resume is, how much experience he has, and how well he matches the needs of the position, he will not send him an offer.
Innes believes that employers value the attitude of candidates more than the skills, knowledge and experience they require. Because skills, experience and other business capabilities can be trained and improved after joining the company, but the attitude will determine whether you can identify with the company’s business philosophy and quickly integrate into it. If a candidate passes the simplest and most basic test of washing cups, it proves that he/she has a sense of ownership. When TA joins the company, he or she will be able to work competently in whatever position he or she is assigned to, and will take the initiative to treat the company as if it were his or her own business, and work hard with dedication and diligence.
According to Innes, employers are looking for more than just skills, knowledge and experience – they are looking for attitude.

Innes insists that it is only through the underhanded observation of washing cups that he can ensure he finds the perfect employee to fit the company’s culture. He also admits that the success rate of these interviews is sloppy, with most candidates willing to take their coffee cups back, and only 5 out of 10 candidates leaving with their cups on their way out. When that happens, he has to start a new round of hiring until someone comes along who is willing to wash the coffee cups.

Innes’ statement then drew a lot of opposition from netizens. At the same time, there are many engaged in the work of HR netizens revealed that in the workplace such interviews Subterfuge and quite a lot, but employers will not be as stupid as Innes, take the initiative to come forward to expose themselves.
After Innis’s explosive remarks, an anonymous HR posting revealed that his boss would thoughtfully pour a glass of water for each candidate during each interview. The boss would then secretly observe who would be the first to pick it up and drink it as well as how quickly each person drank the water.
The boss believed that people who drank too quickly were either too nervous or inattentive. People who drink too slowly or don’t drink tend to procrastinate and make excuses. Only those who drink steadily are confident and not disturbed by others around them, so they are suitable to stay and work.
According to this boss, people who drink water too quickly are either too nervous or inattentive. People who drink too slowly or don’t drink at all tend to procrastinate and make excuses. Only those who drink water steadily are full of confidence and will not be disturbed by people around them, so they are suitable to stay and work.
Schematic Another anonymous HR also said that his own boss would invite candidates to have lunch with him at the last part of the interview. If the candidate takes more than 1 2 minutes to order, he or she will be eliminated from the game. This is because this boss feels that people who are indecisive about small things are not capable of doing important work and will not have much future prospects.

Schematic Another restaurant HR exposes that his boss will let the interviewer who passed the written test and skill test to come back to the restaurant again. The difference is that this time, the other party will be informed to enter through the back door of the restaurant. Before the other party came in, the boss will do like a thief in the back door corner put down a broom. After setting everything up, the owner hides in the shadows to see if the interviewer will take the initiative to pick up the broom in the corner when he or she comes in and put it behind the door.
There is also a restaurant industry HR exposure, their boss will let the written test and skills test qualified interviewers, and then come back to the restaurant. The difference is that this time, the other person will be informed to enter through the back door of the restaurant.

Schematic If the interviewer does so, he will get the offer on the spot; otherwise, even if he passes the written test and the previous levels with high scores, this last additional session will be a wasted trip. If the coffee cup test uttered by Innes at the top of the list is still considered as a big enterprise’s store bully, these small companies above thought of some funny maneuvers when recruiting, which made netizens even more furious. Netizens think that employers are very stupid and have ulterior motives for inventing these social tests that have nothing to do with business ability, experience or skills.
If the interviewer does this, he or she will get the offer on the spot, otherwise, even if the written test and the first few passes with high scores, the final round will be a wasted trip.
If the top of the Innis said that the coffee cup test , is still considered a big business store, the above small companies in the recruitment of the thought of the operation, is even more let the netizens angry.
Netizens think that employers are very stupid and have ulterior motives for inventing these social tests that have nothing to do with business ability, experience or skills.
Who would want to work for such a narrow-minded, self-centered person?
During the interview, the candidate is a guest, so why act like an employee? Luckily for the other person, Innes exposed his true self before accepting the job, which is a good thing!
So, if the candidate picks up a broom on the spot to clean, TA deserves an executive’s office.
These are etiquette tests for kids, not hiring interview questions, and I wouldn’t want to work for these employers anyway.
The so-called tests on the employer’s side have also baffled many experts in human resources. Victoria Gates, a senior interviewer who has done human resources training for many of the world’s top 500 companies, pointed out in an interview that the employer’s side of the interview should first be centered on the work, and that fictional social experiments will only make the company be blacked out in the hiring market. Interviews are supposed to be a two-way process, and candidates have good reason to reject unwarranted tests. And increasing the number of interviews is actually driving up the cost of hiring.

Jeremy Sheffey, a human resources expert in Florida, also cautions hiring companies not to include social testing in their interview rules. Candidates are already highly stressed mentally and physically for more than a few hours, if not days, while preparing for an interview. And candidates who come to interviews have paid transportation costs. Conducting a boring psychometric test on a tired person is simply anti-human.

Schematic There are human resource experts who say that these employers are too much of a father’s flavor, and they want to take the opportunity of the interview to teach the candidate as a son.

After seeing these recruiters tart operation, I think many workers have been on fire.

What do you think?
