When you have built up your new company over a couple of years and are successful enough to need to hire help, what is the best way to get the best out there.  Interviews can be a complete nightmare for a lot of folk.  Not just the person being interviewed for the job but also for the person doing the interviews.  I used to be a school governor, and as lead of the staff governance team, I was always involved in the recruitment exercise for staff.   Just working out the advertisement for the post was hard work – trying to encapsulate the million and one things the staff member would need to do was hard – so much wording in so small an ad!   Then there was the person specification and the job specification.  We had to have a recruitment search pack which included all the information about the school, it’s ethos and aims.  Being a tiny village school which fell under the governance of the local diocese meant that there were two sets of priorities to be borne in mind.   It was actually a mini minefield trying to get all the needs into one application pack.   The recruitment of teachers and those being put forward for promotion to a management level teacher brought another set of criteria into play.  Then there was the biggie.  The changeover of head teachers.  More strenuous filtering of the applicatins before even a short list could begin!
