For employers and hiring leaders

Better hiring starts with better questions.

Practical perspectives from OMG! Staffing’s search approach.

What will this person walk into?

A title and a list of responsibilities leave important questions unanswered. What needs to change? How does the leader make decisions? What support will the new hire have? Clarifying those realities gives the search a more useful starting point.

Why is this candidate worth meeting?

Relevant accomplishments, leadership scope, motivation, and practical fit deserve discussion before an introduction. A focused slate gives employers a reason to consider each person and a clearer set of questions for the interview.
