Interview Process Setup for Employers
What is interview process setup?
MJL's interview process setup consulting gives your team a structured interview process with clear stages, the right interviewers and a shared way to decide. If you are wondering how to fix your hiring process, this is usually the place to start.
What are the signs your interview process needs fixing?
Common signs include interviewers asking candidates the same questions twice, debriefs that turn into debates, strong candidates dropping out or turning down offers, searches that drag past 90 days, and new hires who don't match what the team expected. Most of these come from an unclear process rather than a lack of good candidates.
What does interview process setup include?
We start by reviewing your current process and talking with the hiring manager and interviewers. You then receive a stage-by-stage interview plan, assigned focus areas for each interviewer, question sets for each stage, a debrief and decision format, and candidate communication timelines. As an optional addition we can schedule a follow-up review after your first hire using the new process.
How long does it take?
Most interview process setups take 3-5 days, depending on the number of roles and how many people are involved in interviewing.
Can it be combined with other services?
Yes. Interview process setup works on its own, or alongside Job Descriptions, Interviewer Training and Rubric Setup for a complete hiring system. It can also be added to a retained or contingent search, so the process is ready before candidates arrive.
How much does interview process setup cost?
Interview process setup is priced as a flat project fee, starting at $1,000 or hourly at $200. We also have an optional bundled price with Interviewer Training and Rubric Setup, that is unique per client.
