Interviewer Skills & Behaviors Workshop

Organizations live and die by their talent. A great hire can unlock all kinds of level-ups. A bad hire can cause irreparable cultural damage. 

Our approach to hiring puts people first and also recognizes that hiring is not simply about filling open job positions. It's also about your organization's brand and reputation. 

Every person you interact with becomes a potential brand ambassador and a potential source of referrals. 

Building a great candidate experience is not only the right thing to do but it sets a tone and expectation for incoming members of the team that contributes to a happy, healthy and high-performing organizational culture.

To build this workshop, we've drawn on our extensive experience designing interviewing and recruiting practices for a global tech company, helping them to scale their talent from 300 to 3000 people.

In this workshop, you will...

• Focus on developing a mindset and culture of interviewing as an honor.
• Learn how to design consistent and inclusive interviews.
• Discuss the organizational challenges that can sometimes negatively impact your hiring process.
• Learn what it takes to prepare effectively for an interview.
