Structured hiring is an approach to hiring that spans when a role is first defined to when a hiring decision is made. It is designed to provide a consistent interviewing experience for all parties involved. The core tenants of a structured hiring approach are:
- the ideal candidate is defined by the business objectives of the job
- a deliberate process and rubric is used to assess all candidates
- hiring decisions are based on data and evidence
By implementing a structured hiring approach at your organization you can expect better outcomes like: consistency across interviews, mitigated biases, and a reduction in redundancy and interviewer time. Additionally, your organization can expect to provide a better overall interviewing experience since:
- Candidates will feel they are being treated with honesty and evaluated fairly
- Recruiters can easily oversee and keep the process on track
- Interviewers clearly understand their duties and expectations
- Hiring Managers get candidates who fit criteria and who are optimized for success.
