The Happy Clients Podcast 31. Interviewing 101 | Our Process For Hiring Top Talent
When looking for ways to improve your hiring process, the interview portion is so key for capturing insight into top talent. Virtual interviews also mean it's that much harder to pick up on someone's vibes, social cues or demeanor when they don't have a screen (or script!) in front of them. So what do we do?
We use a hybrid approach where we start with a casual phone call/coffee chat before moving into more hard skill-focused assessments and cases where we look for star Client Account Manager qualities. It's all about doing a gut-check and gathering as much insight to a candidate as you can before signing them on as your next unicorn 🦄
Tune into this episode where we cover key Interviewing 101 questions such as:
- What are the main things to look for in interviews?
- How do you verify someone's technical skills and abilities?
- How do you set expectations on a role and dive into candidate's expectations?
- As an agency owner, where can I go to get your exact hiring process used at DOT & Company?
(Yes, we're sharing ALL of our secrets too. 👀👀)
Cheers, to happy clients!
