211. Tuning up your hiring process
There is a lot going down in the world right now. Whether it is because of the pandemic or not we can’t say but people are leaving their jobs in record numbers. However, there is a hidden opportunity lurking in this crisis, both for people to get new jobs and for companies to get new employees. So in today’s episode, we’ll be talking about tuning up your hiring process! We want everyone to have the best hiring process, so we consider how to interview in ways that are appropriate for the skills you're looking for and how to evaluate candidates in a way that is respectful of their time and abilities. We try to come up with a model for interviewing that feels equitable, considering evaluating practices such as iterating on your interview process, whiteboarding, querying algorithm knowledge, take-home tests, and more. We also speak about the kindest ways of judging whether candidates will fit in with and even add to company culture. Join us and get up to speed with our take on hiring best practices today!
