Hiring for Managers.
Resources to help you find the next great person to join your team.
Know what you want: How to write a Performance Profile
Most job descriptions kind of suck. Performance Profiles market your company, transform your job into a “position of choice”, and organize the interview process so you know what to ask about. Here’s how to write one in less than 20 minutes.
Get to your shortlist: How to run a Phone Screen.
Great phone screens are a mix of selling and assessing. Done well, you leave with a clear “yes” or “no” decision about the candidate, and the candidate leaves feeling great about the company and how they were treated. Here are the tools that will save you time and lead to a great first conversation.
Identify the “A-players”: How to run a panel interview.
Bad hires are completely avoidable. We use panel interviews to dig deep on the outcomes and skills that matter most for each position. Here’s how to know what to ask and how to sort out the high-performers from everyone else.
