Giving Hiring Managers the Power

Giving Hiring Managers the Power

An article was published on April 8, 2015 titled “The 7-Step Hiring Blueprint that Built Netflix” by Carlie Smith (http://bit.ly/1cmBBPK). In step six, Smith discusses the importance of a hiring manager taking charge of the interview process.

Many of the tips focus around organization and quick and effective communication to ensure the best candidate is hired. EasyHire recognizes the deep importance of this part of the interviewing and hiring process and has developed its platform around these very concepts.

It is essential that an accurate impression be given from the beginning. Candidates strive to articulate their skills and ability to perform the job in the hopes of being hired. But what about the first impression of the company? It is often overlooked that companies also need to provide detailed insight into the company culture and team dynamics. EasyHire makes this easy for hiring managers by allowing them to immediately showcase the top tier communication skills and technology they value. A problematic or chaotic hiring process can make a qualified, perfect candidate turn down an offer. But by using a platform that makes the process easy, efficient, and advanced, the candidate is immediately aware of the company’s smart business sense.

The article also discussed how involved a hiring manager should be when interacting with candidates before and after the interview process. We all know that making time is a challenge for most business professionals. However, EasyHire’s video-based platform makes it simpler to conduct interviews anytime, anywhere. Interviews should no longer be confined to a stuffy conference room. Video interviews avoid the confusion and hassle of finding a time that works in everyone’s busy schedule to meet in person.

The last topic we found interesting in Smith’s article was her suggestion to use an “interview scorecard.” And here, we have more great news: EasyHire has this built into its platform! No longer worry about keeping notes, figuring out which questions where used by which interviewer. Our platform allows the hiring managers and their team to keep the process organized and in one place.

EasyHire.me is a manager-centric product with workflows that fit the hiring manager’s needs. Smith’s article shows the importance of creating a blueprint to establish a successful business. Whether you are a small company or a sprawling, well-known business, hiring is important so don’t skimp on finding the best talent in the best way possible.
