Steps to Reproduce the Hiring Process Bug
- Platform: Use OnlineJobs.ph for job postings.
- Job Posting:
- Create a job post specifying the role (e.g., Thumbnail Designer).
- Include a clear salary range (e.g., $400/month for 35 hours/week).
- Specify tasks and responsibilities (e.g., editing, designing thumbnails, checking data).
- Application Instructions:
- Instruct applicants to include a specific phrase in their application (e.g., “Thumbnail Designer” followed by their favorite YouTuber).
- This helps filter out applicants who do not read the job description.
- Initial Screening:
- Review applications and discard those that do not follow the instructions.
- Aim to reduce the applicant pool significantly (e.g., from 100 to 20).
- Interview Process:
- Send a set of questions to the shortlisted candidates.
- Conduct multiple rounds of email interviews, narrowing down candidates further.
- Transition to personal email for continued communication.
- Final Interview:
- Conduct a video call with the top candidates to assess compatibility.
- Focus on understanding their approach to the job rather than their CV or experience.
- Job Offer:
- Offer a trial period (e.g., one week of training, followed by a month-to-month contract).
- Emphasize flexibility for both the employer and employee.
- Payment:
- Utilize platforms like Western Union for payments, ensuring candidates are familiar with the payment process.
- Documentation:
- Keep a record of all communications and decisions made during the hiring process for future reference.
Additional Information:
- Location: The process is effective for hiring team members from the Philippines, but can be adapted for other regions.
- Tools: Ensure candidates have access to necessary tools (e.g., Photoshop, YouTube channel permissions).
- Outcome Focus: Define clear outcomes for the role to measure success without constant oversight.
