Leon Levitt said, "You are not looking for a spouse and trying to identify
personal compatibilities."
As I understand the data, success and failure/divorce rates for arranged
marriages (when the spouses-to-be are children or infants) are about the same
as for Western-style "interview" (dual self-selection) marriages, within the
same countries (which controls for cultural to an extent).
To the extent that such evidence is true, I would have expected an enormous
order of magnitude difference if interviewing had a significant effect. In my
opinion, adaptation appears to swamp any interview effect: people adapt to one
another, to their teams and work groups.
Does anyone have any case studies to relate that support advantages to
interviewing for cross-functional teams (where each department SENDS one group
member). Or are interviews just for hiring?
