Interview rubrics are the centerpiece of an efficient recruiting funnel

Intake sessions are a critical step in creating an efficient and aligned recruiting process by clarifying role requirements, success metrics, and organizational context between hiring managers and recruiters. This alignment reduces wasted time from misaligned evaluations, sets a foundation for skills-based interviews, and refines sourcing efforts. By addressing potential variances early, intake sessions ensure that the hiring process remains focused and efficient, ultimately saving valuable time for both recruiters and hiring managers.

Interview rubrics standardize candidate assessments by providing a clear framework for evaluating the competencies essential for the role. These rubrics ensure consistency in messaging and decision-making across the hiring team, creating a unified experience for candidates. When aligned with job descriptions and intake session insights, interview rubrics enable data-driven decisions and boost funnel conversion rates, leading to better hiring outcomes.
