Great Hiring Teams know how to identify and recruit high potential employees. They also understand their strengths and weaknesses, how to effectively screen candidates, how to hire from all types of industries, and how to grow talent into executives.
Get it right from the beginning
The hiring process starts when you start working on the job description. The key to a successful kick-off is a strong kick-off document, which outlines a clear path for hiring managers to assess the perfect match and inline with their organization's culture. By communicating this information well in advance, you can prepare both candidates and managers for the interview process ahead.
You believe that the quality of candidates matters more than the specific role they are applying for. Your team is dedicated to helping job candidates build relationships with hiring managers, so they can align on the attributes necessary to accomplish the expectations of the role, and shift focus from arbitrary attributes like “Bachelor’s degree” to more meaningful attributes, like “Negotiation skills; can navigate difficult conversations towards productive outcomes."
Structure your process
The standardized interview process ensures that everyone on the interview team has a clear understanding of how to assess different attributes, generates structured feedback and makes sure you are asking all candidates the same set of questions. This helps ensure you hire the best person for any role. Structured interviewing is a powerful tool for hiring individuals for a range of positions, and it’s critical to your hiring process. Every person who works at Indeed has been through structured interviews to get their position.
Be transparent about the role
You must take the time to make sure candidates know the details of their roles, the team, and the company so they can make informed decisions. This helps ensure that everyone involved is confident in their fit, which leads to more productive hires, a disproportionate increase in retention rates and a better work experience for all parties involved.
Finally combine all these factors together!
A structured hiring process will allow you to make smarter hiring decisions. This is good for your organization and for the employees who work within your company. You will be able to capture more data and use that data to continuously improve your systems. A smart hiring manager can take years worth of experience and talent from various sources to find the perfect candidate for their team.
