Plan a multilevel interview process

3. Define what we are

4. Define what we are
Why cultural fit is so important especially in start ups?
Remember –
“you” are going to hire another “you”

5. Defining required attributes
How do you want your team should be like?
What characteristics of the candidate will help
build the organization?
Example: maintain confidentiality etc.

6. Written job description
Why a ‘written’ job description?
Defining the duties and responsibilities of the job we
are hiring for
Helps to drive the recruits to success

7. Job specification
Knowledge, Skills and abilities that are necessary for
successful performance and execution of the job
How does it help to identify learning and training
needs?

8. Multilevel interview process
Different screening tests for measuring different
characteristics
Try to involve people like stake holders, department heads,
And whoever is linked to the position we are hiring for
“Hire slow – Fire fast”

9. Successful Vs failed recruitment
Successful recruitment leads to:
• effective utilization of resources
•Build long-term players
•Helps in succession planning
Failure of recruitment leads to:
• huge costs of company are lost
•Wastage of time and other resources
