Your Gut is Your Best Hiring Tool — If You Train It Like This

When HIRING follow your GUT.

You might go wrong but your gut won’t.

2. Take at least 1000 interviews

3. Follow the same pattern for all the interviews

4. Keep interviews short max 5 mins

How to Use AI to Build a Data-Driven Decision?

1. Go to any LLM with thinking capabilities. Eg. Deepseek R1, OpenAI O3, or Gemini Flash 2.0 Thinking

2. Put this prompt into the model along with your gut feelings “These are some of the most common questions [Paste questions] I ask when I interview. Whenever the candidate answers questions like this [FEELING, Experience] my gut tells me not to hire. Tell me how can I improve my gut feeling to make the right decision. Also, refine my questions.“

3. I recommend you do this only when you have talked with enough people. Because then you will have a pattern that works.

Thats it!
