About the webinar

We all know the research: structured, evidence-based hiring methods consistently deliver better outcomes. But as we push the boundaries of what we can measure in hiring, fascinating questions emerge about human potential and how we evaluate it.

Where's the sweet spot between data-driven decisions and information overload? When does our quest for certainty start working against us?

Ready to dive deep into these questions? Join us as Linnéa Bywall sits down with Kajsa Asplund on Friday, January 31st at 13:00. As our Chief Product Officer at Alva Labs, with a PhD in Talent Management and background as a Licensed Psychologist, Kajsa brings a unique perspective to these complex questions.

In this episode, we'll explore:
💡 The measurement paradox: When knowing more tells us less
💡 The ethics of peering into personality: How far is too far?
💡 Decision paralysis: Is there such thing as too much insight?
💡Keeping it human: How to make data and empathy coexist in hiring

🗓️ January 31st 🕐 13:00 CET
