It's beneficial to hire "learn-it-alls" rather than "know-it-alls". The former are individuals who are open to learning new things and can adapt to changes more effectively. This approach to hiring can promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the team.
When hiring, I’m often asking them stuff like:
- What’s your info diet: I.e what kind of resources do they read and absorb
- Describe a time when you received constructive criticism and what you did about it: This helps to understand their ability to take feedback and learn from it
- Describe a time when you had to learn a new skill: Their answer can demonstrate adaptability and willingness to learn
