November’s A chat with Ashton Harrison, founder, president/CEO, Shades of Light

CS: Have you developed anything as part of the hiring process to combat that?
AH: We’re working on that. We try to listen for negatives in an interview. We listen for how many negative things are said in an interview, and they should be counted. They could be negative about a former company or boss or coworker. We ask a lot of questions on those three levels. We look to see if they say anything negative. That’s the only way I know so far to spot them early on.
