Create a Hiring Checklist




Staff turnover, for any reason, can be a major disruption.

 

It's often unexpected, leaving us to figure out how to keep things moving without skipping a beat.

 

There's the immediate concern of how the work will get done in the interim, the impact on our budget, both short- and long-term, and, of course, finding the right person to fill the gap. It's a lot for any manager to handle. 

 

But here's a tool that can be a game-changer during these times: A hiring checklist.

 

This isn't just about adding structure to your hiring process; it's about making your life easier by allowing you to delegate tasks efficiently. 

 

Creating Your Hiring Checklist

 

So, what goes into this checklist?

 

Start with the basics: Review the job description and update if needed, write the job posting using a standard template as a guide, list where to post job openings and for how long, and set up your automated screening questions. 

 

By standardizing these elements, you're not only making the process smoother for yourself but also ensuring consistency and fairness in hiring.

 

This checklist becomes your go-to guide, saving you time and stress, and letting you focus on finding the best candidate for your team.
