BOSS REVEALS WHY HE ALWAYS INCLUDES THE COFFEE CUP TESTS IN INTERVIEWS

A manager has disclosed why he refuses to hire anyone who fails the coffee cup test, which he uses in every interview. Even in the best of circumstances, job interviews can be quite stressful. Making a good impression and the crucial question you should ask at the end are just two of the many things you have to worry about. As if the stress wasn't enough, some employers even employ devious methods to try to catch candidates during the interview process.

This boss is attempting to deceive possible new coworkers, even though Steve Jobs may have had a charming way of welcoming new hires to his company. Businessman Trent Innes, the chief growth officer at SiteMinder and the former managing director of accounting platform Xeno, explained the trick.

He stated: "I will always take you for a walk down to one of our kitchens and somehow you always end up walking away with a drink." He was speaking on the business podcast The Ventures. An interviewee will be given a cup because it seems impossible to decline the offer of a drink here. "Then we take that back, have our interview, and at the end of the interview, one of the things I'm always looking for is, does the person doing the interview want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen?" the boss went on.

The main test question is: Are you a good fit for the company if you don't bring the cup back to the kitchen?

"You can acquire knowledge, experience, and skills, but it really comes down to attitude," Innes continued. "The attitude that we talk about a lot is the concept of 'wash your coffee cup'."

The businessman continued by saying that it all comes down to blending in with the "company culture" at work. In essence, being considerate and taking care of the little things is what it means to take your cup back to the kitchen. The manager went on to say: "If you visit Xero's office one day, you'll notice that the kitchens are nearly always spotless and gleaming, and the idea of washing your coffee cup is really prevalent.

"It's really just ensuring that they will truly become part of the Xero culture and do everything that they should be doing."
