Part 11/13:
Despite promising research—such as predictive tests that could increase the likelihood of hiring above-average performers from 50% to 80%—market adoption remains sluggish. Several barriers impede progress:
Cost and value perception: Companies fail to see the tangible benefit relative to the expense, often undervaluing the potential return.
Organizational inertia: Large companies move slowly; decision-making layers and restructuring often derail projects.
Decision-maker resistance: Many decision-makers lack authority or are reluctant to change existing hiring practices, preferring traditional, albeit ineffective, tools like Myers-Briggs.
