How Wispr Flow could build a hiring machine that scales to 50 world class people
A 30,000 foot overview of Wispr Flow's complete hiring infrastructure.
Three questions every recruiter must ask themselves before, during, and after any hiring task
- Does this help us get closer to our desired outcome?
- Can we eliminate this task completely?
- What's the current bottleneck?
The Six Pillar System That Makes Hiring Effortless
There's six steps to this game. All of these need assets and a process.
- Correctly defining the role
- Making your job description your best sales page
- Using talent dense hiring channels
- Interviewing to sell, not to assess
- Assessing fit through discovery projects
- The last company they'll ever work for (onboarding & retention)
Your entire hiring playbook in 3 resources
1. Talent Mining (the philosophy)
Talent Mining: The 80/20 of hiring world class talent
The 9 step framework for finding, nurturing, and retaining incredible humans. Define the person. Find the ponds. Send personalized outreach. Discovery projects. Onboard.
Read this once. Internalize it. Everything else in the playbook expands on these 9 steps.
2. Day 1 Recruiting Audit (do this once)
The 6 questions you need answered before you start. What systems exist. Where candidates are tracked. Where sourcing is happening. What the pitch looks like. How interviews run. Where candidates drop off.
Do this once we've set up the system. A solid recruiter can begin sourcing, interviewing, and negotiating ASAP.
3. Role Kickoff Checklist (use every time)
Your action roadmap with links to every template. When a new role lands on your desk, start here. It tells you exactly what assets to prepare and links to everything you need.
Use this every time. It's your interface to the entire system.
Everything else in this playbook is gravy. The philosophy + the checklist + the audit is the foundation.
