The Details

Comprehensive Process Audit: We’ll dive into your existing candidate evaluation processes, from initial screening to final interviews. I’ll review your current resources—job descriptions, performance evaluations, Glassdoor reviews—and conduct a listening tour to pinpoint what’s working, what isn’t, and where we can make impactful improvements.

Ideal Candidate Persona & Key Competency Build: Using the insights we gather, I’ll develop a detailed profile of your ideal candidate, highlighting the skills, traits, and behaviors needed to excel in the role. This profile will be the foundation for your team’s core hiring competencies, ensuring candidates are evaluated against a clear and focused target.

Redesigned Interview Stages: I’ll revamp each stage of your interview process to align with the updated candidate personas and competencies. This might include adding work simulations or other practical assessments to better evaluate candidates in real-world scenarios. Our aim is to cut inefficiencies, enhance the candidate experience, and enable thorough evaluations!

Multi-Round Interview Scripts & Custom Scorecards: I’ll craft tailored interview scripts for each stage of the process, complete with questions and behavioral indicators that target the role’s key competencies. You’ll also receive custom scorecards to help your interviewers assess candidates consistently and objectively across all stages.

Job Description Updates & Candidate Prep Materials:

Your job descriptions will be updated to reflect the ideal candidate persona we’ve defined, attracting the right talent and clearly representing the role. Additionally, you’ll get candidate prep materials to help candidates prepare for each interview round or work simulation, improving their experience and ensuring a fair process.

DIY Training Deck & Comprehensive Interview Guide: I’ll provide a DIY training deck to guide your team through the new process, covering everything from understanding the new candidate personas to effectively using the scorecards and interview scripts. You’ll also receive polished final documents, consolidating everything into a cohesive guide to confidently lead your updated hiring process.
