Choose the right perspective
Pick someone whose hiring mix is close to yours, since recruiting for stores, field sites or plants raises different sourcing and scheduling problems than recruiting for corporate roles. Also decide whether you need a leader who designed the overall recruiting model or a practitioner who ran day-to-day volume recruiting.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you forecast hiring demand and size a recruiting team when you need to fill many hourly roles each month?
- 02Which steps between application and offer did you automate or shorten, and what happened to speed and candidate drop-off?
- 03How do you keep quality of hire and early retention from slipping when volume targets push for speed?
