Recruiting Process:
What do you do when you have a new hiring need?
-
When a manager identifies a need for a new hire, he/she should communicate this to the Talent Acquisition team and a briefing call should be scheduled by the TA partner.
-
On your briefing call, TA will also provide insight on the going market rate in particular to the role and any other market industry findings (Intake document template)
-
Managers must also ensure that all the basis are covered with particular to the role requirements and responsibilities, by putting together a detailed job description in the form of a candidate persona, that would be published (Job description template)
-
Once this is done, TA partner takes over and manages the processes of recruiting. Please note, this is also a collaborative effort between TA and managers.
