The HRMorning Interviewing Framework
A Structured Approach That Weeds Out Bad Fits And Boosts Your Hiring Success
This systematic, repeatable interview process – when properly applied – is designed to help you develop a structure that provides you a better-than-average success rate for bringing outstanding new employees on board.
After reading this blueprint we’ll take you from an unstructured interview approach where you “trust your gut” to guide your decision-making, to a clear-cut, structured, research-backed process proven to improve your hiring success – combined with company-specific assessments and tools for interviewers to follow in a consistent way – without fail.
In this Blueprint you'll discover how to:
- Create a scorecard that quantifiably identifies "A" players you need.
- Develop custom interview questions specific to your company and jobs.
- Structure your interview to qualify and assess candidates when they all are trying to convince you they're the best.
- "Sell" the candidates you want so they are eager to accept your offer.
- Measure and refine the effectiveness of your interview process over time.
