She offers an array of strategies for developing this pipeline, of which we\u2019ll discuss three: Write transparent job descriptions, evaluate previous applicants, and use referrals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategy-1-write-transparent-job-descriptions\">Strategy #1: Write Transparent Job Descriptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hughes Johnson, it\u2019s tempting to write job descriptions that attempt to win over applicants by painting a warm picture of your company. But she argues that such descriptions are often counterproductive, as they obscure the aspects of the job that allow you to attract the right applicants. She contends that <strong>job descriptions should offer a transparent picture of the role and its responsibilities. <\/strong>For instance, instead of highlighting how your team members are all light-hearted people who hang out together on the weekends, focus on the concrete tasks and skills required of successful applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategy-2-evaluate-previous-applicants\">Strategy #2: Evaluate Previous Applicants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to outlining the hard skills (concrete skills, like proficiency with coding languages) necessary for a role, Hughes Johnson recognizes that you also need to attract talent with the necessary soft skills (intangible skills, such as a knack for clear communication). To that end, she recommends <strong>assessing applicants whom you\u2019ve previously hired for similar roles<\/strong>, focusing especially on the commonalities between applicants who became successful employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine you\u2019re hiring for a new software engineer\u2014in this case, you should evaluate your most successful software engineers and look for similarities. If you then discover that most of these engineers are especially effective communicators with exceptional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-manage-time-efficiently\/\">time management skills<\/a>, you can add these skills to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/job-role-vs-job-description\/\">job description<\/a> to attract similar applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategy-3-use-referrals\">Strategy #3: Use Referrals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond evaluating the skills of successful employees, Hughes Johnson also recommends that you <strong>leverage your employees\u2019 networks by leaning heavily on referrals<\/strong>. She reasons that, assuming you\u2019ve hired strong employees in the past, these employees will likely know other similarly strong candidates they can refer. Consequently, by soliciting referrals from your current employees, you can focus on a smaller pool of applicants rather than sifting through hordes of applicants with no ties to your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hire-the-right-person-for-the-job\"><strong>Hire the Right Person for the Job<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve created a healthy hiring pipeline, the next task is to hire the correct individuals for any open roles. According to Hughes Johnson, doing so requires two steps: a consistent interview process and a collaborative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a> process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-the-interview-process\">Step #1: The Interview Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hughes Johnson explains that <strong>you should implement a straightforward and consistent assessment rubric throughout the interview process<\/strong>. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have no uniform criteria against which to judge candidates, making you more susceptible to hiring someone for the wrong reasons (for example, if you found them charming). Moreover, because Hughes Johnson recommends having multiple interviewers meet with each candidate, she advises that you train these interviewers to use your standardized rubric when assessing each candidate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-the-decision-making-process\">Step #2: The Decision-Making Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the interview process, it comes time to decide which candidates to hire. For this step, Hughes Johnson recommends that you <strong>embrace a collaborative approach to decision-making<\/strong>, in which the hiring manager ultimately decides whether to hire a given applicant, but only does so after listening carefully to the views of the hiring committee. This approach has two benefits: First, it allows hiring managers to hear the insights of their committees, which often supplement the managers\u2019 initial assessments. Second, because this process leaves the ultimate decision in the hiring manager\u2019s hands, it allows them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accepting-responsibility\/\">take responsibility<\/a> for the decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s a hiring strategy plan?
