id=\"designing-hiring-processes-an-introduction\">Designing hiring processes: An introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An organisation\u2019s hiring process outlines how a hiring manager intends to evaluate candidates to determine if they will perform well and be a good fit in a particular role. Many organisations follow a design process that includes a job application, collecting resumes or CVs and conducting interviews. But this is not always the best approach when the goal is to find a candidate who will be a good match for the company and the role. Additional planning and design of the hiring process is needed to identify candidates with the necessary key skills, abilities, attributes and attitudes to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-should-organizations-design-a-hiring-process\">Why should organisations design a hiring process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why organisations should invest time and careful thought into designing an <a href=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/en-gb\/blog\/4-key-elements-to-an-effective-hiring-process-2\/\">effective hiring process<\/a>.

It is critically important to get the right information and data to inform the criteria selection \u2013 objectively, without bias, and focused on actual role behaviour. This should involve multiple stakeholder groups \u2013 job holders, line managers, colleagues, customers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common data collection methods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conducting interviews about critical incidents and exploring the root causes of what has previously led to successes or failures in that role<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ranking a list of helpful and role-relevant behaviours or competencies to determine the most critical elements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using online profiling questionnaires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The collected data then needs to be analysed and validated. If possible, the findings should be compared to actual performance metrics and KPIs that are relevant to the role. This may require expertise from statisticians or psychologists to interpret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to involve all key stakeholders in the hiring process to get agreement on the final list of key success criteria. This can then be used as the basis for writing the job description against which applicants will be measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can off-the-shelf job profiles be used?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having to <a href=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/en-gb\/blog\/how-to-conduct-a-job-analysis-2\/\">conduct a job analysis<\/a> every time a new vacancy becomes available is costly and time-consuming. Many organisations build their own internal library of job families, in which similar roles often make use of the same job profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even when there is no pre-existing information to draw on, there are resources available to make the job profile creation process easier. These include government guidance and proprietary or commercial models that consultancies have developed over time with their own client base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When making use of job profiles compiled by an outside source, pay close attention to how they are comprised and how criteria are measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-can-I-assess-candidates-for-key-skills-abilities-attributes-and-attitudes\">How can I assess candidates for key skills, abilities, attributes, and attitudes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common way to assess whether a candidate meets expectations is an interview. However, not all interviews are equal in terms of effectiveness, and there are additional methods to consider that can be more time- and cost-efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrial or organisational psychologists have developed a range of different assessments that can be used when designing your hiring process. Selecting which ones to use is often a balancing act of considering their predictive power, how engaging they are to candidates, their relevance to the role, their scope and cost to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quality job profile should naturally point toward which assessment(s) to use. If there are criteria related to complex reasoning, then a cognitive ability assessment will be beneficial. If interpersonal skills are important, a personality questionnaire will be helpful. If following rules and guidelines is key, a situational judgement test might be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While designing a hiring process, you should also consider the candidate experience. Lining up lots of assessments will get a very comprehensive understanding of each applicant but will also take up a lot of their time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be aiming to get the right balance between predictive rigour and candidate engagement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/info.talogy.com\/en-gb\/nine-assessment-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download our tips for selecting the right assessments for you<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull tal-three-col-keyline has-black-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ce155fab wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xxxxl-font-size wp-elements-1815e0f16f7e1da4e5cbea636523da02\" id=\"what-are-the-most-predictive-candidate-assessments\">What are the most predictive candidate assessments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center tal-three-col-keyline-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-s-font-size wp-elements-374f5e9cace233cfa07aa795dc73ff36\">Psychologists will refer to an assessment\u2019s \u201cpredictive validity\u201d.

After going through all the assessments, candidates will have racked up scores against multiple selection criteria. The candidates with the highest scores at the final stage are the ones who are likely to be most successful in the job. If there are multiple candidates left at the end, the previous rounds\u2019 results can be called upon to break the tie. One way or another, there will be plenty of data to support and justify your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide tal-image-icon-list has-black-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:4.5rem;padding-bottom:4.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-default is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f5a44f5b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-column-is-layout-c19476fc wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4b827052 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xxl-font-size wp-elements-0760edb7b862645194f57e596bf1a15e\" id=\"how-can-I-overcome-bias-in-recruitment-decisions\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);line-height:1.2\">How can I overcome bias in recruitment decisions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-500-color has-text-color has-link-color has-s-font-size wp-elements-6b030ad969d0fc7fc209acc44706adf6\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">It is our knowledge and experience that informs our decision-making.

Review the effectiveness and fairness of your process and document and implement lessons learned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cut corners or fail to do due diligence in any of these areas, there is a chance that any future decisions you make could be difficult to justify.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-can-I-improve-my-quality-of-hire\">How can I improve my quality of hire?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To improve the quality of your hiring decisions, go back and review your hiring process. The goal of a well-designed hiring process should be to find the best candidate for the job quickly, efficiently and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are often tweaks and refinements that you can make to improve the quality of hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was your job analysis as good as it could have been? Are all the key performance criteria covered? Are the criteria well defined, clearly understood and used correctly? Are the assessments accurately and reliably assessing these criteria? Are there better assessments available? Are candidates remaining engaged throughout the process? Are hiring managers remaining objective in their decision making?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may also be other factors to review that are not related to the hiring process itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you attracting the right candidates? Should you advertise the vacancy more widely to attract a more diverse applicant pool? Is your brand attractive to the types of candidates you are looking for? Is the benefits package commensurate to the experience and expertise you desire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, are the people in your organisation running the process suitably trained? Are they supported by the assessment designers to interpret scores correctly? Are they comfortable making objective decisions using the job profile criteria? Even the best and most experienced hiring managers will struggle to avoid their \u201cgut feeling\u201d clouding their judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming these bigger picture issues are addressed, optimising your hiring process based on available data of what is working well and what isn\u2019t working as expected will help improve the quality of hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more tips? <a href=\"https:\/\/info.talogy.com\/en-gb\/four-key-elements-effective-hiring-process\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download our infographic with the four key elements for an effective hiring process<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-85518bf0 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-500-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xxl-font-size wp-elements-dd5a8a36e45886ee0c2a2ffa8711002f\" id=\"form\">Learn how Talogy can help your organisation design effective hiring processes.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top has-border-color has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#A335FF;border-width:2px;border-radius:15px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b807a22d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<script data-ot-ignore type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/js-eu1.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n\n<script data-ot-ignore>\n(function() {\n    function createHubSpotForm() {\n        if (window.hbspt && window.hbspt.forms) {\n            hbspt.forms.create({\n                region: \"eu1\",\n                portalId: \"24974645\",\n                formId: \"a8e069e9-cefb-4091-9dfe-26fd188ef5de\"\n            });\n        } else {\n            setTimeout(createHubSpotForm, 100);\n        }\n    }\n    createHubSpotForm();\n})();\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designing hiring processes Jump to section: Designing hiring processes: An introduction An organisation\u2019s hiring process outlines how a hiring manager intends to evaluate candidates to determine if they will perform well and be a good fit in a particular role.
