How to Run Recruiting Like a Sprint

Applying agile methodology to recruiting can save time and energy. By treating recruiting like fundraising, momentum is maintained, focus is increased, and an effective hiring process is created. Key principles include focusing on hiring full-time, moving quickly in a burst, and building a funnel. To hire the ideal candidate in one month, follow these steps: fill the pipeline with leads from various channels, conduct brief screening calls to vet candidates, have candidates complete a short project to self-select into the process, evaluate candidates based on culture fit, willingness to learn, and career goals, and maintain quality throughout the recruiting sprint.
