How to Succeed in Hiring
A job posting titled "Director of First Impressions" will not turn up when a
candidate searches for "Receptionist." Small decisions like that, made in the
earliest stage of hiring, quietly shrink your candidate pool before a single
resume arrives. This eBook breaks hiring into three stages, attracting
candidates, running the interviews, and closing with an offer, with specific,
practical steps for each one.
Inside the eBook
- Use industry-standard job titles instead of clever ones, since candidates search for roles by their common name, not a company's internal branding
- Publish a salary range in the job ad to filter out mismatched candidates early and set expectations before the first interview
- Train every interviewer on the interview questions prohibited under local, state, provincial, or federal law before they sit down with a candidate
- Space out interview schedules so candidates do not blur together and interviewers can spend extra time when a conversation warrants it
- Offer a referral reward, from a gift certificate to a cash bonus, to turn your own team into a recruiting network
Built around a three-step hiring framework,
attracting stronger candidates, running a more consistent interview process, and
closing with a winning offer, with customized workflow tools to keep every step
organized as your team grows.
