Welcome back! This is the second part of a two-part article on how to create a good hiring process.

In the first part we focused on how to plan for the team’s growth and source candidates. This time, we will cover two other major areas:

• 🔍 Selecting candidates — how to have effective interviews.

• 🤝 Converting candidates — how to eventually win them over.

You will also find two final sections:

• 📌 Closing notes — my own take on what a basic but effective interview pipeline may look like.

• 💬 Real-world use cases — real examples of hiring processes shared by managers in the community.

Again, this topic sparked the biggest debate ever in the Refactoring community. I am grateful to have CTOs, EMs, VPs and Engineers all weighing in on this.
