MEET KEVIN - A PERMANENT HIRING MANAGER’S STORY
Kevin’s team is taking on more responsibility, and he needs to hire a permanent employee who can contribute now and continue developing as the work changes.
The challenge is that conventional hiring does not always give him a clear picture of what someone can actually do. Résumés, familiar job titles, and polished interviews can make some candidates easier to understand than others, even when they are not necessarily the strongest fit for the work.
Kevin needs Adonea.ai to help him define what the role really requires, understand which candidates are relevant, and make a confident hiring decision based on what each person can bring to the team now and over time.
NB: Kevin is a representative story showing how the Adonea.ai MVP is designed to guide and support a hiring manager looking for a permanent employee for their team.
01. DEFINE THE PERMANENT OPPORTUNITY CLEARLY
CLARIFY WHAT THE ROLE REALLY REQUIRES
Adonea.ai helps Kevin work through the responsibilities, priorities, expected outcomes, working conditions, and capabilities someone will need to contribute successfully in the role.
SEPARATE WHAT IS ESSENTIAL FROM WHAT CAN DEVELOP
Kevin can distinguish between what someone needs to bring from the start and what can be learned or developed once they join the team, helping him avoid making the role narrower than it needs to be.
GIVE EVERYONE A CLEAR BASIS FOR CONSIDERATION
With the opportunity defined before candidates are reviewed, Kevin has a clearer way to understand who is relevant to the work and what information will matter when he makes the hiring decision.
02. UNDERSTAND WHO CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM
SEE WHY EACH PERSON IS RELEVANT
Adonea.ai helps Kevin understand how each candidate’s experience, capabilities, and evidence connect to the work his team needs, giving him a clearer basis for consideration than a résumé or interview alone.
REVIEW A MANAGEABLE GROUP OF SUITABLE PEOPLE
When several candidates meet the defined requirements, Kevin can consider a manageable group of people who are relevant to the role rather than working through an overwhelming volume of applications.
FOCUS ON WHAT STILL NEEDS CLARIFICATION
Kevin can see where the information is already clear and where something still needs attention, helping him spend his time on the questions that actually matter before making the final decision.
03. MAKE A CONFIDENT PERMANENT HIRE
CONSIDER EACH PERSON AGAINST THE SAME NEED
Kevin can review each person in the group against the requirements already agreed for the role, helping him keep the decision focused on what the team actually needs.
MAKE THE FINAL DECISION WITH HIS TEAM
Adonea.ai helps Kevin understand the relevant information and anything that may still need clarification, but the hiring decision remains with Kevin and the people responsible for the team.
GIVE THE NEW HIRE A CLEAR START
Once someone is selected, Kevin and the new employee already have a clearer understanding of the work, responsibilities, working conditions, and what success will look like. This helps both sides begin the employment relationship with fewer surprises and a shared understanding of the role.
