The Manager's Toolkit

GETTING STARTED

Hiring the right person can take time. CVs don’t flood in by themselves, and to find the right candidate you may need patience. Start the process with your HR Partner as soon as possible . Once the Job Description is crafted, they will help you with a Job Advert and will open the posting for internal and/or external applications. This usually takes 1-2 weeks . In the meantime, you can prepare yourself by developing questions for the first round interview . This often takes the form of HireVue , or alternatively a phone interview. You can also get ahead of the game by preparing a presentation topic for the final round interview candidates. Your HR partner will have examples of previous topics which have been used and can also help you if you are starting from scratch.

Make sure you have the approval of your manager to recruit, before kicking off the process

Align expectations of your manager and your HR Partner on the level of the role, which will help identify potential candidates within the right ball park
