Is Your Hiring Process Out Of Date?
A lot of companies I talk to are struggling with their hiring process right now.
They’ve been thrown off-kilter by a sudden shift to remote interviewing. Their organization is changing in response to current events. Or they’re simply experiencing growing pains as they scale up.
Many companies start out with a somewhat haphazard hiring process. They need to fill a role, STAT, so they bring in a few candidates, ask ad hoc questions and attempt to go through the paces of hiring in the best way they know how.
As you grow and mature as a company, however, your hiring process has to grow and mature, too. For instance, to upgrade your hiring process, you might want to look at areas such as:
✅ Use of pre-hire assessments to assess job fit: a valid and reliable measurement of a candidate’s thinking styles, work behaviors, and interests against the performance requirements of a job
✅ Standardization of interview questions to avoid bias in hiring
✅ A routine circuit of people who interview for particular roles
✅ Perhaps most importantly, making sure everyone knows who is going to follow up with the candidate, whether or not you decide to extend a job offer
Working with The Source and Recruit Company is an excellent way to begin to standardize and uplevel your hiring process. If you’d like to explore additional best practices and chat about how we can help, book a meeting with a member of our customer service team using the link below.
