Holly Taylor, head of people at Public Digital, loves asking candidates one particular interview question: "What is the most valuable piece of feedback you've received in your career?".
Taylor explains that this question reveals how humble and vulnerable candidates are willing to be, offering insights into their ability to accept and learn from criticism. Candidates often share examples of technical or interpersonal feedback they've used to improve.
Whether discussing a weakness they’ve overcome or feedback highlighting their strengths, Taylor finds the responses equally revealing, helping her assess their growth mindset and adaptability.
