What is the Coffee Cup Test? Recently, British software company Compono has gained notoriety in the news because their CEO tests candidates in interviewers by offering them coffee and checking if they (offer to) bring the empty cup back to the kitchen after the interview.

What does a recruiter or CEO want to test with it in candidates? And why is it a very clear example of interviewer bias and how could personality traits or cultural fit be tested in a more reliable and unbiased way? Mari and Charlotte cover the Coffee Cup Test in-depth in this key moment.
