Abstract
Talent acquisition is a critical source of competitive advantage for organizations. Even with substantial resources devoted to this process, hiring managers still make poor hiring decisions. The instant research proposes that hubris on the part of hiring managers is one factor that causes these individuals to make poor hiring choices. This theory is tested in an empirical study that draws on data from the NFL entry draft to see if observable factors that are expected to build hubris among managers are related to poor talent acquisition strategies among NFL talent evaluators. The findings are consistent with the model proposed and support a hubristic interpretation of the NFL personnel managers’ behavior over the 2018-2019 period.
