Hiring toolkit for managers
I built a hiring toolkit with extensive documentation for content design managers on my team. This was used by all managers as they hired across geographies.
Goal - This initiative was to help managers have a guide to hire the best-in-class talent.
The structure of the toolkit is shown below. I created the entire framework and the guidance material under each of the pillars.
Job Descriptions
I created a unified job description document to be used by all managers. This helped standardize the JDs used across the team and geographies.
Defining the core interview group
The structure of the core interview group was defined to help managers have the right mix of interviewers while conducting interviews.
