The approach
A shared, written way to hire
The Fair Hiring Path
Define · Post · Source · Screen · Interview · Decide · Welcome
Seven steps the whole panel agrees before the job post goes live, each with an owner and a date.
The Success Profile
Outcomes · Weighted competencies · Must-haves · Trainable skills
One page that every later step is built from, so requirements come from the work.
The Interview Blueprint
Same questions · Planned probes · Anchored ratings · Clear roles
Decide the interview before the interview, so every candidate has the same fair chance.
The Calibration Huddle
Read the notes · Compare with anchors · Change only with evidence
A five-minute habit that keeps three different interviewers on the same scale.
Define the job. Ask the same questions. Decide on the evidence.
