Hiring is the highest-leverage decision a manager ever makes, and almost nobody is trained to do it. Hire a multiplier and the whole team gets better. Hire wrong and you'll feel it for years. Sean O'Neill spent 11 years at Amazon during its hyper-growth years and became a Bar Raiser, the role created to protect Amazon's hiring bar. He has interviewed thousands of candidates and hired hundreds. Part 1 of a two-part masterclass. What you’ll learn: • How to ask experiential questions that surface real evidence • Using the STAR method to get past rehearsed answers • The investigative journalist approach to probing a candidate's story • How to tell drivers from passengers when everyone claims credit • Spotting candidates who talk a great game but lack the depth • Why AI-written CVs and coached answers have made surface-level interviews useless Part 2 covers the debrief, where the decision actually gets made: https://www.buildyouredge.org/podcast/episodes/the-hiring-masterclass-part-2-the-debrief Free download Sean O’Neill’s Hiring Debrief Template: https://www.buildyouredge.org/tools/sean-oneills-hiring-debrief-template No email address required — no sign-up of any kind.
