A Strategic Hiring Adventure

By: Tim Cynova // Published: April 10, 2017

Over the years at Fractured Atlas, we’ve invested a great deal of time, effort, and research into improving and honing our hiring process. In this episode of How We Work — created primarily for those staff members involved in our hiring process — we delve into the history, our philosophy, and the stages of the interview process.

Additional resources we require staff to complete before participating in the process include: How to Hire: A Primer, the 20 Cognitive Biases That Screw Up Our Decisions, SHRM’s Acceptable & Unacceptable Interview Questions, and Harvard’s Implicit Bias Test.
