Ep. 44 Nailing The Basics Of Interviewing (Part 1)

We’re continuing our month-long deep dive into hiring and interviewing by breaking down the basics of interviewing into a 4-part process.  This week, we’re digging into the first two steps:

1. Screening candidates
2. Digging deeper / assessing culture fit

Kira underscores how crucial it is to prioritize candidate comfort throughout the entire interview process, which not only helps communicate your company culture from the get-go but also lays the foundation for a successful hire. She shares valuable tips on creating a positive interview experience for everyone involved, and shows how these small gestures can make a big impact on your business's image.

She also explains the benefits of maintaining a clear focus on what you're looking for in a candidate while remaining open to various "who" possibilities, which not only reduces bias but also optimizes your return on investment in the hiring process.

(Spoiler: the term ‘culture fit’ is often used as a smokescreen for bias - and we’re not about that around here!)

Whether you're an entrepreneur interviewing candidates for your own business, or representing one as a hiring manager, this episode is a must-listen!
