The , external,TTS-only, Hiring Manager Guide contains information from the Talent team as well as tips and best practices from seasoned TTS hiring managers. The Guide helps a Hiring Manager navigate through the Hiring Process laid out below.

TTS Interviewers

Interviewers play a fundamental role in vetting incoming talent, as well as creating a positive experience for our candidates. Moreover, they are critical in ensuring a fair and equitable hiring experience.

Below are some resources that cover expectations around interviews, best practices for remote interviewing and Slack usage, and tips for recognizing and correcting for unconscious bias.

Promotions
