Whether you are in a large, mid-size, or small organization, select a small group of colleagues who will help spread the word among their networks, review resumes and applications, help with screening and interviews, and provide wisdom on candidate selection and hiring. 

If possible, your team should include: 

1. A healthy disruptor 
2. Someone with a depth of experience in talent acquisition 

The healthy disruptor sees things that are “out of the box” and adds needed perspective. The recruitment “expert” helps the hiring manager to move the process forward and provides wisdom. The hiring team should also represent as much demographic diversity as possible. Not only will including these multiple perspectives help you assess a candidate’s potential for the job from various points of view, but research has also shown that including multiple decision-makers in complex processes, such as hiring, reduces the impact of implicit bias on those decisions.
