In this segment of his presentation at the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit 2025, Shally Steckerl (voiced as VITAL-BARITONE) challenges common, ill-defined hiring evaluation practices. He interrogates how recruiters claim to assess "executive presence"—asking what it actually means, how it can be identified on a resume or through sourcing, and how it might be quantified on a hiring scorecard. He also critiques the reliance on vague gut feelings, questioning how such subjective impressions could be assigned numerical weight in a structured evaluation. The overall thrust is a call for more concrete, evidence‑based criteria rather than nebulous, unmeasurable concepts.
