$25 billion CEO says one-hour interviews are a waste of time—he puts candidates through six hours of tests and wants them to order wine at lunch

Bupa CEO Iñaki Ereño conducts six-hour interviews across three meetings to assess candidates, including a restaurant test where drink orders and waiter interactions are observed. He prioritizes initiative and confidence, favoring candidates who order wine over those who mimic his water choice. Similar practices are noted among other CEOs like Twilio's Khozema Shipchandler.
