Here's how you can effectively delegate candidate screening and interviewing.

Choose the Right Tasks to Delegate: Initial Screening: Recruiters or HR professionals can handle reviewing resumes, conducting phone screenings, and shortlisting qualified candidates. Skill-Specific Interviews: Team members with expertise in the required skills can conduct technical interviews to assess a candidate's capabilities. Cultural Fit Interviews: Current team members can assess how well a candidate aligns with your company culture. Select Capable Delegates: Look for individuals with strong interviewing skills, clear communication abilities, and a good understanding of the role's requirements. Consider past experience in hiring or participation in successful interview panels

La priorité est de définir les rôles de chacun. À mon sens, le processus ne doit pas impliquer trop de personnes. Le risque est que le candidat se sente perdu s’il a trop d’interlocuteurs différents et que les délais ne soient pas respectés. Le deuxième point important est que chaque membre de l’équipe doit bien comprendre la fiche de poste et les compétences attendues, ainsi que les différentes étapes du processus. Il est nécessaire de disposer d’un outil collaboratif pour que chaque membre puisse suivre le processus et que les informations ne se perdent pas.

Establish Criteria: Clearly define the qualifications, skills, and attributes required for the role. Develop a set of criteria that will guide the screening and interviewing process. Identify Team Members: Select team members who will be responsible for screening resumes and conducting interviews. Consider their experience, expertise, and availability. Training Sessions: Conduct training sessions to ensure that team members understand the selection criteria, evaluation process, and legal considerations. Provide resources such as interview guides, evaluation forms, and sample questions to help team members. Standardize Procedures: Establish standardized procedures for screening resumes, conducting interviews, and evaluating candidates.

Efficiently Assigning Interviews and Candidate Screening Specify the requirements: Make a thorough job description with precise screening requirements. Select a Team: Choose and prepare essential team members for evaluation and interviewing. ATS use and the creation of interview guides are two ways to standardize the process. Assign Roles: Assign responsibilities and provide precise deadlines for every phase. Screen Effectively: For phone interviews, use HR/junior staff and HR/ATS for resume screening. Conduct Interviews: For a comprehensive assessment, use panel and organized interviews. Evaluate and Modify: Conduct debriefings, monitor data, and make process improvements on a regular basis.

By defining the roles and responsibilities, you ensure that each team member understands their role in the recruitment process, which minimizes the duplication of efforts, and promotes a coordinated approach in identifying and hiring the best talent.

To effectively delegate candidate screening and interviewing, first, create clear job descriptions and criteria. Train a team on these standards. Assign initial resume reviews to junior HR staff, while senior team members handle in-depth interviews. Use structured interview templates to ensure consistency. Implement a feedback loop for continuous improvement and regularly review outcomes to align with hiring goals. This approach ensures efficiency and quality in the hiring process.

Delegate screening by defining clear criteria, assigning team members, and utilizing technology. Train interviewers on process and questions. Coordinate interview rounds among team members, establish evaluation criteria, and maintain communication. Document feedback for decision-making. Regularly review and adjust the process for efficiency and effectiveness.

Develop a comprehensive job description, list required skills and qualifications, and define the ideal personality profile aligning with your company culture. Share these criteria with your team to ensure consistent candidate evaluation. This maintains hiring process quality and ensures alignment among team members when assessing potential hires. Clear criteria streamline decision-making, leading to better candidate selection and team cohesion.

It is critical to create a persona of the employee you are looking to hire so that the evaluators are clear on what they are assessing for. Ideally these inputs should be made available in the JD. Also be open for a 60-80% match on the skillset and not always look for 90-100% match.

One can optimize the delegation process in recruitment, automate routine tasks, and enhance collaboration among team members by leveraging the technologies, which leads to more efficient hiring outcomes and improved candidate experiences. As this will give an overview on the status of the positions as well as the candidates.

On the first screening call, use structured call guides to ask technical, cultural, and behavioral questions and keep the screening process fair and consistent. After the call, share the key answers with hiring leaders to prevent misinterpretation or miscommunication. Hiring Managers can quickly hear soft skills, technical answers, and domain expertise via audio soundbites. Modern candidate screening and submission tools like Honeit are designed for recruiters, by recruiters.

Wherever a recruiter can utilize tools should be considered. The less we have to manually process, the better. It's ideal to have as few touch points as possible and use our technology to automate where we can. Scheduling tools can help streamline the process for the candidate's consideration, rather than spending time comparing schedules, and can reduce frustration.

La palette d'outils pour l'automatisation a considérablement évolué. Nous disposons maintenant d'une sélection d'outils permettant d'automatiser parfaitement les tâches, que ce soit pour un ATS (Applicant Tracking System) ou pour le suivi des activités commerciales. Oui, il est très nécessaire et utile de se pencher sur cette stratégie.

When considering a tool for automating your screening process, look for one that uses AI to automatically screen candidates based on criteria like skills, experience, and qualifications. This ensures you're only focusing on the most suitable candidates. Additionally, a good tool will automate the scheduling of recruiter screening calls by integrating with calendar systems and letting candidates pick available time slots. This eliminates back-and-forth emails, speeds up the process, and frees up your time for more strategic tasks. It's best of all of your tools are unified (from career site, to CRM to your ATS) to streamline this. In short, it makes the recruitment experience smoother and more efficient for everyone involved.

Training is key to developing a solid recruitment process, but many companies are doing it in the wrong areas. Train them on how to give each candidate proper consideration. Train them on how to effectively manage their time. Train them on how to be good communicators. Train them to focus on how they touch each candidate's life, not on placements and payouts. Recruiters' actions often shape how candidates view a company. Make sure they're representing your company's interests effectively.

Interviewing managers should be trained on proper interview techniques, what/not to ask, and consistency with company culture. Tools may be provided, such as scoring systems or other resources, to ensure that an interviewer is considering all of the right considerations.

It is my understanding that role-playing or situation-based interview techniques are typically appropriate for mid to senior management interviews. However, for junior roles, the focus should be less on experience and more on the candidate's attitude, response to problem-solving approaches, and potential solutions. While these techniques can be partially developed through training, they primarily develop naturally with experience for an evaluator.

Providing training on effective interview techniques is essential. This should encompass topics such as appropriate questions to ask candidates, conducting role-playing interviews, raising awareness of unconscious biases, and effectively evaluating candidates. However, what has consistently proven effective for me is shadowing. Team members participate in interviews led by me, followed by a debrief where we discuss the interview techniques used and the candidate's responses. We also explore potential improvements and highlight best practices. Have you ever tried?

Regular check-ins with hiring managers ensure that they are supported throughout the process. A hiring manager may have to field new questions, or other topics that had not been previously discussed, so it's a good idea to maintain ongoing support. It might be worthwhile to sit in on the first, or first couple, of interviews and provide constructive criticism in private thereafter, until an interviewer displays confidence and assures that training is ingrained with their interviews.

Continuous improvement is the key to the delegation of the interview process and this will come with regular check-ins and also monitoring on the output on the interviews and selection. A random check on the interview feedback of a certain candidate v/s your own assessment on the same candidate would help identify and gap or improvement areas.

The Law of Attraction is a significant part of closing candidates in the Recruiting process, especially high-performers. When your team delegates screening and interviewing, keep in mind that high-performers need to speak with a team member who can be super detailed, has the ability to build significant rapport, and can overall relate to the candidate. What may help is identifying the BEST individual to interact with the candidate and being aware that NOT every team member has the ability to interact effectively with a candidate. Every interaction holds weight and can get your team closer to closing the candidate effectively, BUT having the wrong team member/s involved can significantly hurt the success of your recruitment efforts.

1. Choose team members with relevant skills and experience in hiring or those who can quickly learn the process. 2. Ensure they receive proper training on screening techniques, interview methods, and the criteria for evaluating candidates. 3. Define the key skills and attributes required for the role. Use structured questions based on the competency framework. Implement a consistent scoring system to evaluate candidates. 4. Use technology to manage applications, track progress, and facilitate communication. 5. Clearly define who is responsible for each part of the screening and interviewing process.
