How to use it
Your first 15 minutes
The 5 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you read the Field Guide for the full arc.
Post from the job description. Open the job descriptions file, pick the role, fill the pay line and your specifics, and post it. The honest posting does half the screening for you.
Screen with the application. Route every candidate through the bilingual application so everyone answers the same questions, then screen against the must-have list, not against a feeling.
Interview from the guide and score it. Run the interview guide the same way for every candidate: same questions, same order, scored in the room on the score sheet.
Confirm the skills hands on. Use the skills checklist with your top one or two candidates in a short supervised session, and again as a training record in the first days.
Read the Field Guide for the full arc. It walks every step above, the questions you cannot ask, references and the conditional offer, and the compliance basics after the yes.
