Hiring Process

You came to the right place. Our job is to identify, attract, recruit, and acquire talent for ATS. To kick off the search we need a few things from you, to include:

• Contract Name/Summary
• Pay Range
• Interview process
• Completed Job Posting Request Form

Do you need access to JazzHR, our applicant tracking system? Send a request to Nicole Colburn (n.colburn@acclaimtechnical.com).

Before INTERVIEWS begin, consider the following:

• List and ranking critical success factors
• Determine your interview approach
• Determine participants to interview the candidates
• Create a fluid agenda
• Study the applicant resume and do some additional research (LinkedIn profile)
• Identify the follow-up process (if required)
• Evaluate scoring criteria and any post-assessment actions

Some good questions to start the INTERVIEW may include:

• Tell me a bit about your background and how you it relates to our position
• What made you decide to apply for this position?
• What’s prompting you to make a change?
• What do you like most about working in the IC space? What do you like least?
• How would this role fulfill your current and future career goals?
• What are the three things you want most from a new role?

One of our favorite competency-based models for INTERVIEWING is the STAR model:

Situation, Task, Action, and Result questions allow you to expand upon basic competency questions to draw out responses and see exactly how the applicant has addressed a scenario to give you significant information to help you make an informed hiring decision.

For instance, you could use it to frame a question about conflict resolution as follows:

• Situation: “Tell me about a time when you had to resolve a conflict on your team?”
• Task: “What did you decide to do to resolve it and why did you decide to handle it that way?”
• Action: “What action did you take and what skills did you use?”
• Results: “What did you achieve? How did your team benefit?”
