6 Steps of the Recruiting Process

The Accolo Recruiting Process is Comprised of the following 6 steps:

Step 1: Profile the job with the Hiring Manager

Focus on the 5 primary data points:

1) What needs to be done by when? 2) How quantitatively will you measure this person’s success?

3) What are the unique skills, abilities and characteristics of a top performer? 4) Why would the right candidate want the job?

5) Service delivery expectations and communication plan.

Step 2: Develop a Job Plan

The job plan consists of 4 parts:

1) A creative title designed to make the job stand out to a potential candidate

2) A unique and compelling job description, focused on attracting top performers 3) 15-20 initial screening questions (ISQs) designed to ensure candidates meet the Hiring Manager’s minimum criteria

4) 3-5 behavioral based questions (BBQs) that provide the applicant the opportunity to connect his/her background directly to the job, company and Hiring Manager
