Hiring
Process
Our goal is to provide you the best possible
candidates, in the shortest time frame possible, with the highest
probability of achieving a successful hire. Establishing consensus
among decision makers for all candidate performance objectives and
having an agreed upon and defined hiring process are the most critical
aspects in determining if the search will be successful.
The
following is the process we encourage our clients to follow in order to
make certain all parties understand and can abide by the process.
We have found that this process reduces anxiety and frustration for our
clients, candidates and our firm.
I.
Develop
a well-defined candidate performance profile
(refer to position definition)
II.
Define the hiring process:
-
Determine when you want the candidates on board.
(ideal and drop-dead dates). Start the search 90 days out from when
you need the candidate to show up for their first day of work.
-
Determine who will be involved in the interviewing
process for a specific position.
-
Determine how many and what types of interviews are
required (phone, in-person, technical, etc.).
-
Have a maximum of four different interview dates
with a candidate.
-
Have a maximum of five interviewers. Designate one
person as the primary hiring authority and contact.
III.
Establish agreed upon time frames for the search:
-
Respond promptly when someone from the Pangaea
hiring team contacts you. During a search we often have
questions asked of us that will need your input prior to being able to move a
candidate forward.
-
The
elapsed time frame for the entire hiring process should be no more
than three weeks from hiring manager’s first exposure to candidate, to
offer and acceptance by the “new hire.” Work towards this goal.
-
Respond with a "yes" or a "no" to an interview within 24 hours of
being presented a candidate. (We send our quality candidates on
multiples interviews when we work on a contingency contract, so we are
unable to hold them while we are waiting for a response.)
-
Interview the candidate by phone or in person within five days of
being presented with and accepting the individual into the hiring
pool.
-
Call
your search consultant within four hours of the conclusion of an
interview. We cannot manage a candidate's expectations/mindset
without timely communication with you.
-
Take
action with a verbal offer or declination within 24 hours after the
last interview with a candidate.
-
Provide a written offer through Pangaea
to the candidate within 48 hours of the verbal offer being presented
to the candidate.
