“Jen was my recruiter at Reddit and delivered the best candidate experience of my entire 20+ years of professional career. Jen was immediately responsive, proactive, and genuinely human. I always felt she represented my and Reddit's best interests and was truly committed to closing the position and helping me succeed during the interview process. Jen, thank you, and I hope our paths will cross again!”

You want to improve your team’s leadership skills. How can you find the right training program?
When rolling out training, aside from mapping out what they should learn, don’t forget that not everyone assimilates information the same, and some may have an invisible disability. You can’t fit everyone into a box. Ideally, offer verbal, written, and practical exercise training, as well as have long and short copy reference documents. Visual flow charts are good for those that like to see the big picture and how things are connected. Overall, training will be more effective and you’ll get better user adoption if you provide training in multiple formats.

You want to improve your team’s leadership skills. How can you find the right training program?
I’ve witnessed organizations not involve the team in training decisions, and there are several things that go wrong as a result. Often senior leadership, although you likely won’t hear them admit it, know less about what would make the team more effective, efficient, and happier in their day to day. At minimum, staff and principal ICs should be involved as they’re the ones witnessing team member behavior, and providing mentorship to less seasoned ICs; they should have a pulse on what training could make the team better. Your most senior ICs are likely the ones nerding out on advanced tools and processes and may be conducting pilots on their own. User adoption typically is lower when the team is unaware until implementation as well.

How do you foster a positive and inclusive candidate experience throughout the recruitment journey?
If you speak transparently with candidates the great majority will be transparent right back with you. Lay out the process, set expectations, and meet or exceed those expectations. Don’t leave a candidate waiting a week to hear from you after an interview. A simple text message or email makes a world of difference to the job seeker, and will strengthen the relationship. In the end, the recruiter is demonstrating the culture of the company. The candidate’s experience with a recruiter is part of what makes then run to the opportunity.
