Description
From Strategy to Choosing Whom to Interview and Why
Your company is growing, the workload is increasing, and you need to find someone new. But before you post the job, there is an important question to answer: what should this person help your organization achieve?
How to Find the Best Candidate to Interview helps you build a clear foundation for hiring. The book starts with your company’s direction and the role’s objectives. You will learn to define what success in the role looks like, which skills are needed from day one, and what a new employee can learn on the job.
From there, you move on to writing the job posting, reaching talent, and assessing applications. How do you find evidence in a resume that matters for the role? How do you recognize potential behind an unfamiliar career path? And how do you separate what a candidate reports from your own interpretation and the things you still need to find out?
The book helps you compare candidates on a common basis, recognize preconceptions that influence assessment, and build a well-supported interview shortlist. It also explores candidate communication and how to build trust while preparing for selection. You move into interviews with clear objectives and open questions.
This guide is designed to accompany your own hiring process. Its five worksheets help you document the need, plan the search, organize observations about candidates, and prepare for interviews. An example featuring a fictional 60-person B2B services company shows how the methods work in practice.
This book is especially useful for growing organizations where hiring takes place alongside other management responsibilities and shared practices are still being built. It also supports HR professionals and search consultants who want to structure selection preparation together with the hiring manager.
If you want to identify the skills essential to your organization’s growth and make more informed decisions about whom to invite for a conversation, this compact guide gives your work a clear framework.
