An employee program forteams facing
Do your interviewers sell the company the same way, and honestly?
Usually not. Every interviewer has their own pitch, and candidates compare notes. This program aligns what your people tell candidates, what they believe and how they answer, in four one-hour team sessions.

SESSION 1 · FILL THE GAPSAnswered alone
Finish the sentence: when a candidate asks what is hard about working here, I say…MMira…nothing much. It is a great place.
JJonas…one real thing that is hard, and what we are doing about it.
AAylin…the workload, honestly.
TTomas…I change the subject to the benefits.
RRosa…I'm never sure what I'm allowed to say.
What it costs you if nobody notices
Shared knowledgeCandidates meet five companiesEvery interviewer's version is a different promise. The new joiner holds you to the best one.
Shared convictionOverselling costs you in month threePeople who were sold a perfect company leave when they find the real one.
Shared practiceThe honest question goes badlyWithout practice, "what is hard here?" gets a defensive answer, and the best candidates notice.
