When we meet someone for the first time, it is nice to start off on the right foot. We search for common interests, discussion topics, and try to take an interest in each other’s lives. A cardinal error in the interviewing process is the inability to separate friend from employee. When you meet someone who could be your new best bud at the office, it can be difficult to reject that candidate.
Just because the person you are interviewing is so much like you, that does not always mean they would make the best employee. In a recent article, Rivera (2012) discusses the epidemic that occurs when employers are looking for cultural similarities between the candidate and themselves. In particular, she reviews research on interpersonal dynamics. Overall, the research shows that similarity is one of the biggest factors influencing attraction during evaluation. This includes interviews, thus the reason we are interested, which means that applicants with similar interests and backgrounds as their interviewer have a greater chance of being hired solely based on commonalities with their employer. In the world of IO Psychology, this is referred to as the “Similar to Me” bias.
The problem with this trend is that businesses across the country are finding themselves with a staff constructed of those with identical interests and talents. A company needs diversity in all divisions to truly thrive. If everyone working with you possesses the same strengths and weaknesses, there will be no one to balance out the other side of the company’s needs. For instance, I am an extremely detail-oriented person and have little to no creative ability. Due to this, I really appreciate people who also have an eye for detail and enjoy having those types of employees around. On the other hand, I have to remind myself that if our company only had nitpicky people working here, we would never get anything done. Although creative people think very differently than I do, our company could not function without “big-picture” people keeping us on track and brainstorming new ideas every day. A company’s employees must always be diverse enough to balance both sides of the equation and focus on hiring the right person for the job, not the right person to be friends with.
