This post contains 3 template docs, 2 of which are foundational for a great hiring process.
As always, this is standing on the shoulders of giants, largely:
- [book] Who by Geoff Smart and Randy Street
- [book] The Great CEO Within by Matt Mochary [ctrl+F "Appendix C: Recruiting Process"]
- [PDF] Interview Questions: Guide to Interview Preparation Techniques

The Larger Process
Here is an outline of how I see the larger process of hiring: Prep, Screen, Interview, Select.
It is neither exhaustive, nor will I go into great detail on how to do any given stage. DM me if that's something you need though.

Screen
- Write the screener script
- Screen candidates
Interview
- Write the interview script(s)/guides
- Interview candidates using the interview scorecard

Select
