The Hiring Process

Introduction

Hiring is one of the most critical aspects of being a leader. In order to have an effective hiring process,

some important preparation must be done before the candidate search, shortlist selection, and interview

processes even begin. You and your team need to create a job description that includes all the hard and

soft skills desired in candidates, as well as the key responsibilities of the role. After that, you and the team

must agree upon a set of key competencies for the position. Finally, you must develop a set of questions

designed to enable you to interview candidates for those competencies. All candidates will be interviewed

with the same set of questions, thus enabling the hiring team to compare candidates effectively. This

assignment is designed to allow you to practice the preparation phase of the hiring process.

Instructions

For this exercise, select a position you are currently hiring for, or select a position that may have to be

filled in your department or organization in the future.

Follow the steps below to create all the required components of the Hiring Sheet for this position:

 Step 1: Develop a Job Description

If there is a current job description, you can use that for this part of the exercise. Submit it with

your assignment for review.

 Step 2: Identify Key Competencies

Instead, if you wish, you may select 4 competencies from the list and create one (1) competency

of your own.

 Step 3: Rank the Competencies

Rank the competencies that you selected in order, from the most important (1) to the least

important (5). Write a paragraph to explain your rationale for the order of importance of the

competencies.

 Step 4: Create Interview Questions

Develop 2 questions for each competency that you selected for use when interviewing

candidates. Your final list of questions for the position will contain 10 questions.
