A Hiring team at Future Forward

Our hiring teams usually consist of the following people:

1. Hiring manager: The person managing the new hire. They will be the final decision-maker.
2. Owner of hiring process: This is usually either Jerome, the co-founder or Benny, the office manager depending on if it's a junior or senior role. They will be the point of contact with the candidates and oversee the hiring process.
3. 1 or 2 team members of the new hire: They will conduct at least one interview and help evaluate the assignment if there is one.
4. One of our content writers: Get them to help with writing the job description in a way that'll really draw candidates in.
5. One of our designers: Have them look over the job post before publishing to make sure it looks great!

At the beginning of the process, add everyone to the hiring team in Homerun so that they know they'll need to be involved. You can assign to-dos to let them know when it's time to chime in or check the draft job post.

How we create a job brief

• Schedule a 2-hour long kickoff meeting with the hiring team to discuss everyone's role and to create the job brief.
• Copy this template of a job brief and fill it in for the role you're hiring, during the kickoff: Job brief (template)
• Here's an example of a filled-in job brief: Job brief (example)

How we write the job description

• Use one of Homerun's job description templates and ask a content writer to customize it using the job brief you've created.

• For guidance have a look at the Complete Guide on Writing a Job Description.

• Use the gender decoder to check your job description for gendered language. We aim for our job posts to be gender-neutral language EXCEPT for engineering roles which we skew towards feminine language since we'd like to have more women in our engineering team.

• Add this "about the company" section.
