@sei.come.sei: Researchers who study hiring have spent decades testing which signals predict how well someone will do a job. Our generation's content diet could use more voices like the one in this clip. "VOTE" to tell us who else belongs in it (Link in bio). Frank Schmidt and John Hunter's 1998 review of 85 years of that research found that a sample of the real work predicted performance slightly better than an ability test and far better than years of experience. A 2022 reanalysis led by Paul Sackett revised many of those estimates downward, and the work sample still edged out the ability test and stayed well ahead of experience. Those studies looked at tests that employers set, and a sample of your work that nobody asked for is the closest version of one you can hand over yourself. Clip: @jayyanginspires. Jay credits the word "permissionless" to Charlie Hoehn.
