Overview

Hiring is one of the most critical aspects of being a leader. In order to have an effective hiring process, some important preparation must be done before the candidate search, shortlist selection, and interview processes even begin. This assignment is designed to allow you to practice the preparation phase of the hiring process.

In the preparation phase, the hiring team creates a job description that includes all the hard and soft skills desired in candidates, as well as the key responsibilities of the role. After that, the team agrees upon a set of key competencies for the position. Finally, they develop a set of questions designed to enable you to interview candidates for those competencies. All candidates for the position are interviewed with the same set of questions, thus enabling the hiring team to compare candidates effectively.
