Clear hiring begins with an agreed role, job-related criteria, decision owners and a realistic timetable. Adapt this general checklist to your organisation and applicable local requirements.
Define the role
Agree the purpose, responsibilities and outcomes. Separate must-haves from trainable skills, and clarify the reporting line, work pattern and compensation range where possible.
- Set interview stages and timing.
- Name the decision-maker and feedback owner.
- Describe the opportunity and material constraints accurately.
Run a consistent process
Use criteria tied to the work, consistent core questions and evidence recorded against those criteria. Give candidates clear instructions and updates. Follow applicable rules on equal treatment, privacy and record-keeping.
Agree the next step
Confirm offer details and onboarding. If seeking recruitment support, share the brief, target location, timetable and decision process; agree scope, fees and terms in writing before work starts.
