Module 2: Activation & Prep Stage
IN THIS LESSON
The intake meeting is the foundation of every successful hire. It’s where recruiters and hiring managers align on what the role truly requires, how success will be measured, and how to avoid biased shortcuts like “culture fit” or “must look polished.” In this lesson, we’ll break down how to lead an intake meeting with confidence: asking the right questions, challenging assumptions with data, and translating vague preferences into clear, competency-based criteria. By mastering this step, you’ll not only improve hiring outcomes but also build stronger partnerships with managers and set the tone for a fair, inclusive process from the very start.
