What Happens When You Standardize Your Interview Process

Think about the worst interview you’ve ever had. Maybe it was an unprepared interviewer who clearly hadn’t seen your resume or found out who you were moments before you met. Or maybe it was when they forgot all about you and left you in the waiting room for 30 minutes.

For too many people, job interviews are intimidating and nerve-wracking affairs. Whether you’re a recruiter, hiring manager or candidate, the interview process can potentially be a disorganized mess for everyone involved.

Why Candidate Segmentation is the Ultimate Recruiting Hack

Not all candidates are created equal.

Your sales candidates aren't like your engineering candidates, who aren’t like your marketing candidates. They have different skills, personalities, and work habits, and what makes them good candidates for each position is a unique blend of those qualities.

Hiring teams would never use the same hiring criteria for different roles, yet why do many organizations structure their hiring process as a one size fits all solution? It's a problem because it ignores the specific characteristics that help people succeed in different roles.  

Knowing exactly what abilities and aptitudes are most valuable for certain roles is a crucial aspect of efficiently hiring the right people.  

Implementing candidate segmentation is your chance to do that.

There’s nothing wrong with hiring experienced individuals from diverse backgrounds, in fact, it’s commendable. But it’s also hard to scale since it’s focused on an inherently finite talent pool.
