Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who have owned hiring or people operations decisions in paper mills, forest management, or supply chain roles. Ask them to describe a process they tried to standardize and what actually stopped it from working the same way twice. Avoid candidates who only discuss HR theory; focus on those who faced real friction points.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Tell me about a hiring or staffing process you tried to make consistent. What kept breaking it?
  2. 02Which workforce challenge in your operation was hardest to solve the same way every time, and why?
  3. 03When you had to fill a critical role quickly, what shortcuts did you take, and what went wrong later?
