Designed and ran the company's bar-raiser hiring program

I designed and ran the bar-raiser program, which trains experienced interviewers to sit on panels outside their own team and hold one hiring bar. With talent acquisition in each region I ran global inductions for Brazil, North America and Europe, and seven cohorts followed.

regions inducted

Brazil, North America, Europe

What would have happened

Each team hired for itself, with no one holding a common bar.

The call

Train a pool of independent interviewers and put one on every panel.

What I did

Designed the training, ran the global inductions and cohorts with talent acquisition in Brazil, North America and Europe, recorded role-play interview videos and wrote the program material.

What changed

The new software hiring and assessment process went live globally, and talent acquisition said there was no way it could have worked without me.
