After some of David Shulman’s friends lost almost everything to a financial fraud nearly a decade ago, it made him wonder how well we know the people around us, especially at work.
Could the financial analyst in the next room turn out to be the next criminal mastermind? Is your work lunch buddy a natural-born deceiver? How well does any company know its employees?
To answer his own questions, Shulman, who has an economics degree and 30 years of experience as an executive with Wall Street capital firms, set out to design a test to find out. Like a lot of personality assessments, he hoped it would offer insights into what made someone tick.
Most of the time, we determine whether we think someone is honest by our impression of them, for instance, by asking a series of questions during the hiring process, or by how they conduct themselves during everyday business dealings. But, that’s not foolproof.
"Talking to someone directly and then bringing them on board because you like the way they answer questions is a dangerous way to hire someone, " says Shulman. "There’s simply no science that supports it. "
In the past three years, Nilan Peiris has been involved in hiring more people than most of us will ever work with. His company, money transmission firm TransferWise, has grown from 60 employees to 700 in that time. And nearly every one of them has told at least a little white lie, he says. Spotting these isn’t so hard, according to Peiris.
The most common one is when the candidate is asked why they’d like to work for TransferWise, Peiris said from London, where he serves as the company’s vice president of growth. "People usually say it’s because they’re passionate about money transfer, " Peiris says. "And I say, ’OK, that’s not true. What’s the real reason?’ Because I’m not passionate about money transfers, and neither are the founders, and neither is anyone else here. " Maybe the real answer is that they want to work at a fast-growing company, or in the tech industry, or a hundred other reasons. But Peiris says the point of catching them in this untruth is to see how they react. " If they’re able to open up and be honest with us, then that tells us that they’re ready to go on to the next step, " Peiris says.
True honesty from anyone simply isn’t the reality, says Peiris, who suspects he has never actually seen a CV that doesn’t at least exaggerate a little bit.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.
23. What made Shulman wonder how well we know about the people around us?
24. What is a dangerous way to hire someone for a job according to Shulman?
25. What is Peiris’ point in catching interviewers telling lies during the job interview?
选项
A、To see the interviewer’s reaction.
B、To check whether the interviewer has passion for the job.
C、To see whether the interviewer takes the job seriously.
D、To examine the interviewer’s psychological health.
答案
A
解析
原文中提到,Peiris说在面试时揭穿面试者的假话是为了看他们如何反应,如果他们可以敞开心扉,对我们坦诚以待,这就说明他们已经准备好进入下一阶段了。因此答案为A。
