Mind & Media’s Hiring Process
As Mind & Media continues to evolve and transform, one essential element must remain: our culture. And a big part of our culture relies on attracting and hiring the right people—stellar performers—because we are who we hire. Stellar performers possess success-driven behaviors—intrinsic motivators that make them strive to do the best at everything they do and to care about how their performance is perceived. Mind & Media assesses new hires based upon:
- Behaviors for Success—the internal drive and motivators that indicate likelihood of success;
- Cultural Fit—the general personality, character traits, values, and goals of a candidate in comparison to those of the company; and
- Skills—the experience, expertise, and education required to perform the available position.
The purpose of this document is to share the hiring process we follow to determine stellar performers.
- Create a job description. In order to have a successful hire, a detailed job description is key. Laying out the expectations of the job for the new employee gives candidates a clear understanding of job duties and responsibilities.
- Create a PRO. Mind & Media uses the Predictive Index (PI) program to help evaluate and find the best candidates. The PRO worksheet provides objective information about the behavioral demands of the job.
- Create and post the job ad.
- Accept qualified resumes online.
- Screen job applicants and conduct brief phone interviews with select candidates. Send any rejection letters.
- Send the PI survey and job application to candidates selected for interviews. Once returned, compare with PRO to help determine if candidate meets the behavioral requirements of the job.
- Conduct success-based interviews with remaining candidates. This may include more than one interview, and even group interviews. Send any rejection letters.
- Have final candidates complete skills testing and background checks (including professional reference checks, criminal background, degree certification, and employment history).
- Prepare conditional offer letter for final candidate.
- Once signed offer letter is returned by candidate, set start date and begin orientation process.
Please understand that this process will take as long as is necessary to hire a stellar performer. Your patience throughout the process is appreciated. You will be informed of your status as soon as it changes. If you have any questions not answered in this document, please email them to hrjobs@mindandmedia.com.
Thank you for your interest in Mind & Media.
