Group Format

When hiring involves more than one person

As companies grow, hiring decisions involve managers, team leads and sometimes HR staff. The same skills that help one owner hire well can be built across an entire management team — with the added benefit of a shared process and common language.

Shared skills, consistent process

When different people in your organization hire differently, the results are inconsistent. Group training builds a common approach.

One process, many people

When your operations manager, marketing lead and finance director each hire in their own way, the organization has no consistent process. Training the team together creates alignment around a shared method.

Common language for decisions

When everyone has learned the same framework, conversations about candidates become more productive. You're comparing notes on the same criteria rather than debating preferences.

Reduce individual bias

Structured hiring with multiple trained evaluators reduces the impact of individual bias. When everyone applies the same criteria, the decision is more defensible and more reliable.

Scalable as you grow

As your team expands, new managers can be brought into the same training. The process doesn't depend on any one person knowing the method — it becomes organizational knowledge.

How the group format works

The same three-session structure, adapted for group dynamics and organizational context.

Group size

Sessions work well with groups of 4 to 12 participants. Smaller groups allow more personalized discussion; larger groups benefit from more diverse perspectives on the same scenarios.

In-company delivery

Group sessions are delivered at your location or remotely, using scenarios and examples drawn from your actual industry and organizational context rather than generic case studies.

Adapted content

The core content of each session remains the same, but examples, exercises and discussion scenarios are adapted to reflect the roles your organization typically hires for.

Who typically attends

The group format is designed for anyone in your organization who participates in hiring decisions — not just the owner or CEO. This typically includes:

Operations managers who hire for their departments
Team leads who participate in candidate interviews
Administrative staff who handle job ad posting and CV screening
HR personnel who coordinate the process but don't always own the decision
Business partners or co-owners who share hiring responsibilities

The training is most effective when the people who will actually work together in a hiring process attend together. That way, the shared framework is built simultaneously rather than communicated secondhand.

If your organization has a mix of experienced and new managers, the group format works well — more experienced participants often contribute valuable context to the discussion, while newer ones build the foundational skills.
