I'll work with Sundeep to create a repository of interviews and populate it with recent history.
Would love your thoughts on a few things:
- What do you think of assigning small projects that they work on? These may be paid or not. They may be done independently or collaboratively with us.
- Is a video recording of the interview (with permission) helpful? I recognize that most people won't go through the full video. But will it give them a feel for the candidate, and plan what to look for?
- What preparation must an interviewer go through? How can we learn from each other on efficient preparation? A checklist, perhaps?
Will be glad to hear others' comments too.
Thanks Anand!
1. Definitely the way to go. I was hired the same way although I had the benefit of time, not everyone might have it.
2. That's a good idea, a video with timestamps for specific questions like how we currently do for podcasts will be useful.
3. Generally I prepare a set of questions beforehand from our workflow and after reviewing their resume. We can have a recommended list of questions for all interviewers derived from the interview repository.
Encouraging to read, Bhanu. What you ask for is what I would like to bring in, a balance between how much information to capture, make it accessible and structure it. My though is to pick items in this order - existing information made accessible via reporting, put tools in place to have more information available to anyone required via Web App. Reduce the manual hand shakes we go thru today.
noted Sundeep, do let me know if and how I can help
