The Science of Gut Feeling
The Science of Gut Feeling
Because the stakes in managerial labour markets in the new knowledge-based economy (KBE) are high, there seems to be a shift from looking at the hard currencies of employability like certificates, awards, and the like, to analysing the soft currencies like the skills, capabilities, and performance of individuals. Potential employees have to be more than smart and well-qualified but they also have to be innovative, creative, and critical problem-solvers. Employability now has become stylized and becomes open to a certain level of subjectivity. This chapter looks into the science of gut feeling as a method of recruitment by examining how employers' justify their hiring decisions.
