Interviewing for a job is the same as dating someone new. In both cases, we're trying to figure out if the person will *become* who we need them to be for the role they're applying. With employment, we lean heavily on past experience as a proxy for this, but it's merely a proxy. Someone very adaptable with little relevant experience is a better hire than someone very experienced yet extremely rigid. Imagine we started first dates with a resume reviewing prior relationships? Is that ridiculous? Should hiring be more like dating, or should dating be more like hiring?

I was a recruiter before but I casually used to call myself a matchmaker. I think the difference is the outcome: you date because you love, and you hire because you want to value extract dollars. The process is relatively the same 😂

this is the ultimate bad take here but i assume manifold love already does this on the dating site. i won't elaborate. i just do not rationalize dating that much.

Do you mean it'd be a good idea just hypothetically? Cuz practically I don't see how it's possible. People lie as they want even on their resumes.. past relationships allow for way more fabrication

Hiring and dating both about finding the right fit for the future, not just past experience. Maybe there's something to learn crossing over those boundaries
