Thinking about making some great hires in 2017? Me too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, as Head of Talent<\/a> here at SmartRecruiters, I do have an edge \u2013 access to next-generation tools<\/a> to streamline my recruiting and hiring processes. But technology alone won\u2019t help if I’m not\u00a0following some fundamental best practices for collaborative hiring<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my last post, \u201cMaking The Right Hire: Our Best Practices Should Be Yours<\/a><\/span>,\u201d I discussed a few of the best practices we published in our new whitepaper, \u201c<\/span>Making the Best Hire<\/a><\/strong>.\u201d Here are some more ideas to consider as you ramp up for next year \u2013 setting up effective hiring teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

That takes teamwork. So for each job you\u2019re filling, you\u2019ll need a team to make these evaluations, assess candidates, and collaborate to make a decision. The more collaborative your process, the more successful you\u2019ll be<\/strong> \u2013 not only at acquiring great talent, but doing so as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your hiring team will include:<\/span><\/p>\n
