But these gut reactions can often lead us astray because of how we subconsciously picture the new hire. The key is to distinguish between real and pseudo cues. A good example of a pseudo cue is the halo effect that may surround candidates due to physical attractiveness. People subconsciously feel attraction to a good-looking interviewee.
