And in this video, she said that despite what we're often told, large companies don't often see it as in their best interests to hire the most qualified and skilled candidates.

Although Runa was quick to clarify in a comment on her video that there are certainly recruiters who are looking for these kinds of candidates, there's a reason why you're more likely to meet those who aren't when the company is big enough.

As Runa said, "They don't get paid more because you performed outstandingly, like you're the first in your team."

However, she said recruiters do get penalized if the people they recommend either quit before the company truly benefits from their labor or disobey the company's management.

After all, they know what that experience is worth and obviously see little reason not to take better opportunities when they can find them. And many of us can recall working for someone who had the power to tell us what to do even when their ideas were worse than ours.

So instead of candidates who might be mindful of these considerations, Runa said corporations want employees who carry the fewest risks in either category.

For instance, she said that questions about why you left your previous employer are supposed to gauge your risk of leaving again, while the "what is your biggest weakness" question is supposed to measure how much damage your mistakes are capable of doing.

As she put it, "It's really all psychology."

By contrast, a follow-up video she released on June 6 argued that start-ups are more likely to actually hunt for the most qualified candidates because they need them more.
