A consistent hiring process, from role brief to first day.

Sample checklist

1. Step 1

   Approve the role

   Confirm business need, budget, classification, location, reporting line, essential duties, and decision owner.

2. Step 2

   Build the role brief

   Define must-have outcomes and skills. Review the job description for accessibility, clarity, and unnecessary barriers.

3. Step 3

   Plan sourcing

   Choose job boards, referrals, community partners, and outreach. Record where applicants came from.

4. Step 4

   Use a structured interview

   Ask the same role-related core questions, document job-related evidence, and avoid medical, family-status, age, or other protected-topic questions.

5. Step 5

   Complete human review

   Have accountable people compare evidence to the stated requirements. Do not use AI to score or make the decision.

6. Step 6

   Verify and offer

   Complete lawful checks and approvals, send the written offer, and avoid promises that conflict with policy or local law.

7. Step 7

   Hand off to onboarding

   Assign pre-start tasks, equipment, access, training, manager check-ins, and a role-specific 30/60/90 plan.
