By Natasha Katoni

In today’s market it is incredibly challenging to recruit and retain top talent. The key to getting the best candidates is creating a consistent, repeatable interview process that takes a systematic approach to evaluation. A smart interview process allows you to mitigate natural unconscious bias, prevents you from bringing in your personal preferences while hiring, and focuses your decision making on data.

She covers the four key interview pillars (plus two bonus pillars!). These include identifying candidate core competencies, mapping questions to evaluate them, scoring answers with rubrics, and finally debriefing.
