Hiring for recruiting and staffing
A staffing firm sells people: its product is the quality of the candidate it presents. Getting it wrong doesn't just affect an internal process, it affects the trust of a client paying for good judgment.
From an industry risk to a better-supported decision
-
Industry risk
Staffing lives on presenting the right candidates, fast and at volume. The challenge is twofold: hiring good internal recruiters (who assess others) and holding a shared standard when screening applicants for very different clients. Without a comparable signal, each recruiter filters with their own bias and the client gets uneven quality. A shared standard to order how candidates are presented is missing.

Signals to assess
Judgment to evaluate the competencies and profiles of others, applied knowledge of HR practices, and careful handling of candidates' personal information.
