It’s not hard to get lost in the details when gathering feedback from multiple people that have interviewed the same candidate. Far too often, hiring managers are presented with opinions ranging from a 700-pg novel to glittering generalities they’re left to interpret. But how do you break the poor candidate feedback cycle once and for all? That’s what Kinetix, the RPO for growth companies, is outlining in their latest whitepaper, “
Area Code Hiring: A Tool to Make Better Hiring Decisions.”
“All you want is concise feedback that allows you to compare and contrast what people really think about the candidate and help drive a hire/don’t hire decision on that individual. But who’s to blame for the poor feedback? We’ve traditionally not forced interviewers to make tough calls, or more often, we’ve created elaborate webs of feedback to that fail to tell us anything,” says Kris Dunn, author and Chief Human Resources Officer at Kinetix.
The article presents readers with a detailed look at the concept of Area Code Hiring and the benefits of using the tool to make better hiring decisions within their organization. Kinetix has also developed three resources to help you introduce the Area Code Hiring System to your team and run a successful candidate feedback session. Simply follow the guides provided to make a concrete hire/don’t hire decision on your next round of candidates.
“The true art of Area Code Hiring is in the facilitation process”, says Dunn, “They give you their numbers – you compare and contrast them as the talent pro. You draw the people into a real conversation. That’s where the stuff gets interesting.”
"Area Code Hiring: A Tool to Make Better Hiring Decisions", is a recent release in the series of executive thought leadership articles prepared by Kinetix.
