14. The Ready's Hiring Process w/ Kate Glazebrook - a podcast by The Ready

The Ready has a habit of disrupting the established way of doing things, but we've never really looked at our hiring process... until now. In the last few months, we've radically overhauled the way we making hiring decisions by asking questions like, "Can we design a process that reduces bias and homogeny? Can we design a process that focuses on what we want rather than what we don't?" In this episode, we talk about the inner workings of our new system, the rationale behind it, and what early results are telling us about the work ahead to make it better. Later, we're joined by Kate Glazebrook, cofounder of Applied, who deepens our understanding of the biases and cognitive gymnastics inherent in hiring, while making us feel a little better about our struggles thus far. If you make hiring decisions, this one is a must.
