Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who have owned decisions about which data to collect, which to ignore, and which gaps forced them to choose anyway. Ask about moments when better data would have changed the outcome, and times when more data would have just delayed action.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01When did you realize the data you were tracking didn't actually predict the outcome you cared about?
  2. 02Walk me through a decision where you had to act with incomplete data. What would have changed if you'd waited for more?
  3. 03Which data sources did you stop using, and why?
