Recruitment
Coaching Programme
At IRIS, we love Building extraordinary product teams. With over fifteen years experience building digital products and services for global brands, and insider access to a large community of product makers at Canvas Conference, we know what it takes to put together a best in class team. And it all starts with the recruitment process. We have built our own native program in association with 383, and are now sharing with you to give you the best chance of building your dream team.
Over a short series of two hour workshops, you’ll learn and practice everything you need. How to establish what success looks like, where to source talent, how to design a slick interview process, and most importantly, how to seal the deal with your chosen candidate.
This course is designed for hiring managers who don’t know where to start, and talent managers who want to bring order to internal chaos. Each session will be led by Glen Duncan, IRIS co-founder and designer of 383's recruitment structure, and you’ll also receive an e-copy of the training materials to support your journey into a rock solid recruitment approach.
