The typical structure of a job interview often involves the interviewer asking a stream of questions, and the candidate is expected to masterfully provide enlightening answers. We believe this one-way process is inherently flawed. It fails to assess the most important growth skills -  demonstrating an interrogative approach to problem solving and a curious mindset. These skills are particularly necessary for positions that involve making data-driven decisions, where the ability to be a fierce interrogator is essential. Knowing today’s new hire may be your organization’s leader in the future dictates the need to find emerging leaders that will judiciously explore opportunities with their probing curiosity. To assess a person’s interrogative mindset we assert flipping the typical interview process on its head, opening the door for the candidate to be the interrogator and assessing their ability to ask powerful questions. After all, the smartest person in the room is the one with the powerful questions.  We advocate a hiring process that focuses on assessing a new set of skills we call Quantitative IntuitionTM - the ability to 1) ask precise questions, 2) put the information in the right context, and 3) synthesize (as opposed to summarize) the information by combining the information with human judgment.
