Clear communication, timely feedback, and a respectful approach are essential. What are some things you would add to the list?

Part 1: Is Your Interview Process a Superstar or a Snoozefest? 🤔 Crafting the perfect interview process is a delicate balancing act⚖️. Too many stages, and you risk losing top candidates to frustration. Too few, and you might miss crucial insights. So, how do you strike the right balance? There's no one-size-fits-all answer, as the ideal interview process depends on a variety of factors🗒️️: ✍️The role itself: A senior leadership position will likely require a more in-depth process than an entry-level role. ✍️Your company culture: Do you value collaboration? A group interview might be a good fit. Looking for independent problem-solvers? A take-home assignment could be revealing. ✍️The current market: In a competitive talent landscape, a streamlined process can give you an edge. Need help optimizing your interview process?

📣 PSA: Candidate experience at web3 companies sucks…yet it’s such a low lift improvement to stand out and onboard more users/ambassadors/culture carriers. Our co-founder Mohammed Ahmed had a bit of time to play around with the various Careers pages across web3 and thought it was mind blowing just how out-of-the-box and monotone the hiring journey looks like across the board. But we’ll let him tell the story 👇 “Picture this: I’m a candidate applying at a popular wallet startup (role doesn’t matter). I go through the company’s Greenhouse or Ashby Careers Page, apply for the role, and I get hit up with an email: “Thanks for applying to (name redacted). Your application has been received and will be reviewed by our team. Please keep an eye out for a response in the coming days.” WTF?!! The above is an automated response from a real web3 startup. Despite being very common, it’s also a huge miss from a brand marketing and user onboarding perspective. Why? It assumes that the candidate applying has used your product. In reality, 60-70% (maybe even more) of candidates applying have never used your product and may never know what it is. This is one of the effects of applying to jobs through a job board (hiring teams, please turn off LinkedIn Easy Apply). It misses the opportunity to engage a user that’s applying to the company with an experience that leads to a download, an install, or a mere follow. Well thanks for pointing out the obvious Mo. Well, if it’s so obvious, why aren’t more teams catering the candidate experience around business metrics and how to help their companies drive user growth? 💡 I want to apologize to all the hiring teams who may have seen my Test applications over the past couple of weeks. For those who rejected me, I love you. ❤️ For those who never responded, let’s do a better job. This goes out to teams at OpenSea Rarible Aptos Labs Monad Labs Consensys Phantom Tensor Ava Labs Solana Labs Coinbase” Just for fun, we reimagined what Phantom’s experience could look like (see slides for what we came up with). Oh, and for companies and hiring teams who may be interested, we offer a free candidate experience analysis between you and competitors. 👀 acceleratalent.xyz

🚀 Early-stage startups, listen up: Your candidate experience is more than just a formality, it's your secret weapon for attracting top talent. 🎯 Think of it as a first date (but with way higher stakes): every interaction, from the initial job posting to the final decision and even onboarding, shapes how candidates perceive your company. A positive experience sparks excitement and loyalty, while a negative one... well, let's just say it can leave a lasting bad taste. So, what does your candidate experience say about you? 🤔 Are you rolling out the red carpet or leaving potential superstars hanging? 🤷♀️ This is a topic we could geek out on for days (and trust us, we do), but the bottom line is this: every touchpoint is an opportunity to showcase your company culture, values, and commitment to building an amazing team. 💪 We'll continue to share candidate experience insights here on LinkedIn, but if you're ready to take your candidate experience to the next level today with the help of a few experts, shoot us a message @ info@acceleratalent.com - and let's get after it. 🤝 #candidateexperience #hiringtips #web3startups

Tip #2 on avoiding bad hires: Involving more team members in hiring decisions Imagine: instead of relying solely on the hiring manager's perspective, you have a group of team members evaluating candidates. Your team is full of unique experiences and insights, so tap in! It's like having a panel of experts dedicated to your startup's success. 🚀 ✨ The benefits? ✅ Increased team buy-in: When more team members are involved, they feel more invested in the new hire's success. ✅ Reduced bias: Diverse perspectives lead to more objective evaluations. ✅ A candidate experience that screams "We value collaboration" Remember, hiring is not just about filling a position; it's about shaping the future of your web3 venture. #Web3 #hiring #teamwork #collaboration
