My son works at a local retail store during the summer college break. During the recruiting process, the human resources staff at these stores face an information asymmetry problem; they can observe a person’s interpersonal skills during the interviews, and they can talk to former employers to learn about previous experiences. However, they cannot gather full information about current personal characteristics that are important on the job (e.g. work ethic, dedication to customer service, and emotional maturity).
