This episode features Matt Poepsel, Vice President and the “Godfather of Talent Optimization” at The Predictive Index (PI). PI offers a variety of tools and assessments that help organizations solve business problems through the lens of understanding individuals.

Transparency is key to Matt’s hiring philosophy. He discusses business challenges openly with candidates: how can you hire a good problem-solver if you spend the entire interview process hiding all the problems? When candidates are open and honest in return, both parties can evaluate each other for real fit.

Matt and Oz also talk about Matt’s career journey from the Marines to a Ph.D. in psychology and to software. They discuss how companies use assessments like PI in the hiring process, and why companies should assemble diverse interview teams that include a candidate’s future teammates, peers and collaborators from other departments, and a designated culture interviewer.
