Notable Quotes:

[00:03:59] “When you're relying on intuition or gut feelings, you might be overlooking important skills or qualities that are essential for success in the position. With a standardized scoring system, you can ensure that you're evaluating each candidate fairly and thoroughly, giving you the best chance of finding the right person for the job.” [00:04:19]

[00:04:31] “If you did not have a standardized scoring system and you showed up to an interview having a really bad day in a bad mood, whatever is going on in your life, your perception of that person could be skewed with a standardized scoring system.” [00:04:46]

[00:04:53] “ Develop a system that has a standardized scoring system so you can pass it on to other people to do it for you so that you are only left with doing a final interview.” [00:05:06]

[00:07:18] “By having clear documentation of candidate evaluations, you can ensure that you're making hiring decisions that are fair, which can help you build trust and confidence with potential candidates.” [00:07:29]

[00:10:47] “The how it might be a little bit mind-bending the how is where non-jumpers get stuck up and they try to do it and then they're like, nope, can't do this. This is too annoying. Or Oh my God, I did it. And it doesn't work because they don't understand that it is a fluid work in progress. The first time that you do it, you are not going to get it. Okay, you're going to fail.” [00:11:08]
