    Talent Acquisition Day Job main episode for 2026-07-17

    In this episode of Talent Acquisition Day Job, we tackle the common struggle new coordinators face in intake meetings: turning vague hiring requests into actionable plans. Finch shares how to avoid the mismatch between hiring manager expectations and your screening process by asking three targeted questions that deliver concrete criteria for your scorecard. Learn to capture what a typical day looks like, identify the two most critical tasks in the first 90 days, and define success metrics for the first quarter. These steps prevent rework, keep searches on track, and reduce mid-process changes while building clear required versus development columns. Key takeaways: - Use the three questions to create a focused, one-page scorecard draft immediately after the meeting. - Distinguish day-one must-haves from teachable skills to shorten lists and align interviews. - Add a tie-breaker section based on team preferences to avoid subjective debates at the offer stage. - Send questions in advance via email to demonstrate preparation and speed up alignment. 📩 Have questions or want to share your experience?

    Understanding Talent Acquisition: Intake Scorecard Offer SOPs

    In this episode, we break down a practical intake-to-scorecard-to-offer sequence designed specifically for new coordinators who need reliable steps without extra systems or agency-style hustle. Many teams lose time when intake notes stay vague, scorecards get skipped, and offers stall over missing details. This episode shows how a short, repeatable process keeps requests moving and records clear whether you manage one role or several. Key takeaways include: - Use three targeted intake questions to capture success metrics, must-have skills, and acceptable trade-offs in ten minutes. - Build a weighted scorecard grid that turns screening into consistent scoring instead of memory-based decisions. - Draft offers directly from the same intake and scorecard notes, securing manager approval before sharing numbers with candidates. - Communicate offers plainly, capture counters in writing, and close the loop without last-minute surprises. The focus stays on actions that fit a normal workday and reduce dropped threads over time. 📩 Have questions or want to share your experience?
