HIRING GUIDE

The Hiring Guide is designed to ensure that hiring processes across the organization are consistent, efficient, and aligned with the company’s goals. It provides a framework for attracting, evaluating, and securing top talent while promoting fairness, reducing biases, and fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. By following this guide, hiring managers and recruiters can streamline recruitment, improve the candidate experience, and build strong, cohesive teams that support the company’s mission and vision.

STRIVE Recruitment follows a process from the selection, outreach, and screening of candidates to the offer letters and rejection calls. While our clients’ normally conduct the in-depth interview portion of the hiring process, our team is able to make recommendations on interview effectiveness and best practices. For a more detailed look of the interview portion of the hiring process, read our 2024 Interview Guide for Hiring Managers: Assessing and Securing Top Talent blog post.
