Reducing the risk of a bad hire with the Interview Guide
Joe is recruiting for new Business Analysts.
Joe's Challenges
Already busy, Joe spends a long time preparing for interviews only to find out from Hiring Managers that new recruits have not lived up to expectations. Joe finds it difficult to distinguish between high-caliber candidates and relies on informal catch ups to find out more about a candidate’s suitability.
It is important that Joe implements a process that promotes fairness and reduces opportunity for bias because D&I has been a key business focus. Specifically, the Analyst team has been recognized as a department that could benefit from more diversity.
Finally, Joe noticed negative feedback from rejected candidates on Glassdoor about their experience of the process, highlighting a lack of feedback.
Here’s how our Wave Interview Guide helped Joe:
-
Reduced Interview Preparation Time
Joe was able to reduce preparation time by over half; the questions are dynamically generated based on candidate responses meaning Joe could use the time saved to focus on other work. -
Increased Fairness and Objectivity
Joe also found that the interview process was fairer and more objective as he was consistently measuring the same competencies across all candidates. -
Enhanced D&I Outcomes
He didn’t feel the need to have informal catch ups; Joe liked how he was able to build a clearer picture of a candidate using the probing questions provided, reducing opportunity for bias greatly.
-
Better Decision Making
Powerful interviewing meant that Joe was more confident making hiring decisions - he has already received positive feedback from the hiring managers for finding high-caliber recruits. -
Improved Candidate Experience
Finally, it made Joe’s life so much easier to have feedback reports that are readily available to share with candidates, even those who were unsuccessful.
