Say Goodbye to the Soft Yes

Smarter interviewing for stronger hires 

 

Overview

Overview

Hiring shouldn’t be a guessing game, or a vibe check. 
 
In this on-demand webinar, Textio leaders Kieran Snyder and Rocki Howard unpack how structured interviews help your team clearly define the role, ask the right questions, formally document feedback, and make hiring decisions that will take your organization to the next level.
 
Whether you’re hiring your first team or refining how your company scales talent, Say Goodbye to the Soft Yes will help you:
  • Clearly define what success in the role looks like
  • Ask questions that reveal real candidate capability
  • Equip every interviewer—regardless of experience level
  • Replace "vibe hiring" with a consistent, skill-based approach
 
If you're ready to remove bias, improve the candidate experience, and land the right person for the job (not just the best small talker) you don’t want to miss this session!
