What if you thought about hiring the same way you think about car insurance? Think about how the car insurance process works: The agent doesn’t need to meet you in person to know that if you have a sports car in the garage, four accidents on your driving record, and a 16-year-old living under your roof, you are probably going to cost them money at some point. They have become adept at using historical data to predict the likelihood of certain outcomes, such as you getting into an accident and filing a claim. The riskier you are, the more expensive your policy will be. It’s a formula that’s been proven over time.
