The Hiring Process: Screening and Evaluating Candidates

Hiring high-quality people is crucial when opportunities to hire are limited. The interview process is essential in confirming if a candidate possesses the necessary traits and competencies. Starting with a strong recruiter who values quality over quantity sets the groundwork. Screening interviews, whether done by the recruiter or hiring manager, focus on basic connections rather than skills. The hiring manager's role then shifts to evaluating candidates rigorously to avoid wasting time and resources on unqualified individuals.
