The Problem
Most hiring processes collect evidence at every stage. Few carry it through to the decision. Criteria shift between roles. Rubrics drift between recruiters. And by the time the committee meets, impressions have often replaced the data.
That's noise. And it's the biggest obstacle to accurate hiring.
Structured hiring produces more accurate decisions. But you can't get there by optimizing stages in isolation. You need a connected system where standards, evidence, and outcomes reinforce each other. That starts with knowing where your current process breaks down. This workshop gives you the tools.
What we'll cover
This is a working session. You'll spend most of the time scoring your own hiring process, not listening to a presentation.
- Understand why your improvements don't compound
- Score your own hiring process
- Walk out with your scored diagnostic
Who this is for
You lead TA or own hiring quality in an organisation that sees hiring as a strategic function worth getting right and/or you want a structured way to find where quality leaks, not another opinion on what to fix.
