Providing hiring managers and interviewers with training helps improve the quality, consistency, and fairness of your hiring process. It also delivers wider benefits, including stronger employer branding, better support for DEI initiatives, improved quality of hire, and more confident hiring decisions.
Despite its importance, interviewer training is often overlooked. Research shows that over 70% of interviewers report having little to no formal training, which can lead to inconsistent assessments and biased decision-making.
Now more than ever, ensuring your team is equipped to assess candidates effectively is critical to building high-performing teams.
To support this, Screenloop provides tools that help interviewers continuously develop their skills - so they can engage confidently with top candidates and clearly understand why someone is (or isn’t) a strong fit for the role and company.
