Do you have clear, market-informed job requirements?

Gather market data to inform accurate titles, salary ranges, etc. based on location and competition
Clearly written job descriptions with specific responsibilities, outcomes, and success measures
Specifically defined 'must-have' qualifications vs. vague generalities (i.e. 'x years experience' - in what exactly?)
Clear description of how this role supports company goals and growth trajectory

2Candidate Sourcing

Are you proactively finding passive candidates or just waiting for applicants?

Consistent, reliable pipeline of qualified candidates (not just applicants from job posts)
Use of multiple sourcing channels (referrals, networks, industry connections, recruiters, niche platforms)
Proactive outreach to passive candidates vs. reliance on inbound applications
Compelling messaging that makes top talent interested in learning more

3Interviewing Process

Is your interview process efficient and fair for both sides?

Efficient process that respects everyone's time (no more than 4 interviews within 2 weeks)

Current understanding of how competitive your salary and benefits packages are for each role
Offers presented within 24 hours of making the hiring decision
Standard, repeatable offer process that reduces unnecessary back-and-forth negotiation
Clear timeline communicated to candidates about decision-making process

Monitor average time-to-hire for different role types
Measure time between candidate submission and offer for successful hires
Regular review of recruiting data used for process improvement and bottleneck identification

Are new hires set up for long-term success?

Structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plan for new hires in each role type
