Managers conduct coffee tests on all interviews and do not hire candidates who fail.

One manager revealed that he uses a “coffee test” in every job interview to decide who to ultimately hire. And those who fail cannot get jobs.

Let’s be honest: Job interviews are never a fun or enjoyable experience. But sadly they are a part of life and something we all have to endure.

This is another “trick” you may have heard of.

This trick was explained by businessman Trent Innes, former managing director of accounting platform Xeno and current chief growth officer of SiteMinder.

Declining a drink offer is probably not an option here. I’ll have a drink.

He continued: “Then I take it home and do the interview, and one of the things I always look for at the end of the interview is whether the person I’m interviewing wants to take the empty cup back to the kitchen. .”

And the crux of the test is, if you don’t bring the cup back to the kitchen, you’re not right for the company.

He explained: “You can hone your skills and gain knowledge and experience, but attitude really matters. The attitude we often talk about is the concept of ‘washing your coffee cup.’”

The businessman further explained that it’s all about fitting into the “corporate culture” of the office.

So maybe taking the cup back to the kitchen is about doing something small and showing compassion.

Innes says that as long as it keeps the office clean, that’s enough.

“If you walk into Zero’s office one day, you’ll see that the kitchen is almost always clean and sparkling, a far cry from the concept of washing coffee cups,” he said.

“It’s really just a matter of making sure they actually fit into the culture within Xero and really take on all the things that they need to do.”
