As an Internet company , Google is considered as a role model because of the massive scale . Included in the affairs of human resources . Google has a policy that is uniquely associated with hiring employees .
They spent many years analyzing who is successful in the company , which overlook the importance of GPA, reputation of the school and interview .
In a conversation with Tom Friedman of The New York Times , Google's head of operations, Laszlo Bock, detailing what company sought when recruiting . And unique, academic criteria do not become major .
The graduates of top schools avoided by Google for reasons they do not usually have what is referred to as " intellectual humility " .
Megan McArdle argues that the authors put off " because they scored too many A's in the class " . Likewise, college graduates . The best graduates are usually taught to rely on their talents, which in turn makes it difficult to adapt the work .
I more wanted to get people who are able to accept the ideas of others while the idea is good, more than they have. That humility I mean , Bock said .
Although not all, many brilliant graduates very rarely experienced failure and did not learn how to learn from failure .
They are usually gifted genius , Bock said , shows that the fundamental attribution error because they tend to think when he was successful , it was because he was a genius . Meanwhile, when it fails, he will blame others around him or anything else . In Google , you should insist on and defend ideas to the death but if someone else can provide factual evidence that there are other better ideas , you must acknowledge and support it .
Surprisingly , those without a college degree can actually do it better. "People can still be successful even if no formal education is an extraordinary person and we need to get people like that, " Bock said .
Many campuses are failing to realize the promise of their, Bock claims. What is more important than the level of intelligence, academic degree or diploma with an A is the ability to learn. "Campus only artificial learning environment . Which is more important is a person's general cognitive ability , the ability to process while working, collecting a lot of information and structured process that can be known through a behavioral interview I gave," she said .
Those interviews for example tells prospective employees to think about how many tennis balls that will be put in a tennis court . It makes Google is able to predict the candidate's ability to react to difficult problems in the past. The way it is also considered to find the ones that suit is Google's definition of leadership .
"It's not just how to lead a club at school or get a degree that makes people impressed leader ," he explained again , " but rather on the ability of a person to climb the next step and become a leader when needed . "
