Interviewing 101 | Our Process For Hiring Top Talent
When looking for ways to improve your hiring process, the interview portion is so key for capturing insight into top talent.
Virtual interviews also mean it's that much harder to pick up on someone's vibes, social cues or demeanor when they don't have a screen (or script!) in front of them.
So what do we do?
We use a hybrid approach where we start with a casual phone call/coffee chat before moving into more hard skill-focused assessments and cases where we look for star CAM qualities. Something along the lines of:
Initial Phone Call - Basic questions on the job post, verify they aren't a robot, initial gut check on personality.
Video Call (or if you're lucky— an in person interview) - Start to pay attention if things are easy going, there's passion for the role, and the candidate understands how the role would function on your team.
Assessment [homework for the candidate] - This will get them working under pressure and see if they possess the critical thinking, quick-on-their-feet thinking that is so key to come by.
Take our word for it and become extra intentional and streamlined with your hiring process, your teams (and future self!) will thank you.
Tune into this episode where we cover key questions around the main things to look for in interviews, how to harvest technical skills, and how to set expectations on a role.
Until next time,
Cheers to happy clients.
