Are your hiring filters working? - Jonathan Hall
Once you are clear on the nature of candidates you’re trying to hire, it’s a lot easier to evaluate hiring processes - and once you have a documented repeatable process, you can evaluate and update iteratively.
As Hall points out, everything we do in the process - from the job ad to the application form questions and onward - is a hiring filter. But is it a good filter? Does it enrich for the candidates we actually want by filtering out the candidates that wouldn’t be a good match and preserving the candidates that would be a good match? Have you checked?
