Rubin Operations leadership wants to create a hiring process rubric to distribute to hiring managers and committees across the Project and the community. This rubric will serve as a guideline to proper hiring conduct. This session aims to gather real and impactful feedback from participants that have been on either side of the process. The ideas and discussions shared will form the basis of the hiring rubric under development. We will have guided discussions that dig into topics such as equity in the hiring process and barriers that are faced by applicants and hiring committees. There will be space to discuss specific experiences with a hiring process and breakout sessions to dive deeply into exploring solutions for the worst hiring woes.
