How much time and resources does it cost to successfully hire one candidate?
1 comments

Substantially less than our previous process.

We went from a process that took weeks to get through (multiple interviews, about an hour each, with a full code day at the end) to a two step process. Talent reaches out to the candidate and has a thirty or so minute chat to make sure the candidate meets basic hiring requirements, and then we have our MINASWAN process which is a single three hour interview, including two breaks for the candidate to get off camera and catch their breath.

The participants are: - the candidate - a hiring manager - between two and four developers for pairing - an open invitation to the hiring team’s devs for a closing panel interview.

The feedback we’ve received from candidates has been overwhelmingly positive, even for those who didn’t receive an offer.
