Is Your Hiring 2021 proof?

In today's market the war on talent is real! Having the finger on the pulse, we see first hand that some companies' hiring processes have unfortunately not followed suit: Taking 10-14 days, 3-4 interviews to hire an Import Specialist is too long. Very often great candidates are interviewing with multiple companies at the same time. The interview process is the first real impression the candidate has of a company. Now we can throw stats, examples, etc, but we know we are all crazy busy, and you already have 7 new emails in your inbox since you started reading this post. We'll just leave this article here for when you're ready to dive into this further.

So - What is the ideal interview process seen from our point of view?

First Interview - In-person with the hiring manager. Always great to meet the candidate, get face to face, and make the first impression purposeful. This is a good experience for the candidate, who gets to meet his/her direct manager, and see the office environment first hand before making a decision.

Within the next 48 hours, schedule the second interview.

Second Interview - Zoom call - let's use technology to our advantage. Your hiring manager has already met the candidate in person, so no reason to have the candidate take off work and make the drive. On this call, get every decision maker on the call as well. Carve out an hour, and get everyone on the call, ask the questions needed and make it happen.

After the interview, have a discussion among the decision makers and make the decision on the candidate within 24 hours of the second interview. Here's the best part: Call your favorite Talent Hunter at Caliber, and we will present the offer to the candidate you chose and lock it in!
