This section details the different ways the Recruiting team communicates and at what cadence. Hiring Managers play an active role in each cadence.
MLT, Recruiting, and any current Hiring Manager should join the Hiring Managers Channel (TBC). The purpose of the channel is to asynchronously communicate important recruiting updates and dive deeper into recruiting topics or challenges with specific roles.
Recruiting shares a metrics update in the Hiring Managers Channel every Monday morning by 10 AM Palo Alto time.
Topics covered
Candidate Pipeline: This is a stack rank of number of candidates that have been converted to a Recruiter or Hiring Manager Screen.
Pipeline Metrics: This includes metrics for each stage of the interview process by role and by priority of role (P0, P1, P2).
ICP Alignment: This is based on candidates that are rejected at any point after a Recruiting or Hiring Manager Screen.
What's going well: Roles that are on target to be filled within 90 days, roles on track to the mid-interview milestone or MLT/AA interviews.
What's not going well: Roles that are't on target to be filled within 90 days, roles that have little traction.
Your Recruiter will schedule an intake session after you’ve completed your Job Description. During this call, your Recruiter works with you to ensure alignment on the level, ideal candidate profile, application, screening questions, the interview process, and next steps.
Ahead of MLT and AA interviews, the Recruiter may schedule a live mid-interview sync to align on intent to move forward and address any ICP criteria that need additional assessment. If there are multiple candidates in the pipeline, the Recruiter may ask the interview panel to rank the candidate pool. This exercise helps clear any potential blindspots or confusion around role expectations. It also allows the Recruiting team to prioritize the highest-ranking candidates to complete the interview process, as appropriate.
Logistics
Mid-interview sync will be pre-scheduled to occur after the last mid-interviewer completes.
If there are multiple candidates for the same role, the sync may be scheduled after all candidates have gone through the last mid-interviewer.
If you're an interviewer and can't make the scheduled sync, please make sure to submit complete feedback in Lever ahead of the scheduled sync.
