How to Raise the Bar on Talent

Want to know more about the pros and cons of programs like Amazon Bar Raisers and Google Hiring Committees?

In this webinar, John Vlastelica walks you through the pros and cons of three decision-making interview models: bar raisers (used by Amazon), hiring committees (used by Google), and pipeline (used by university recruiting teams). John co-built and scaled the Amazon bar raisers program when he was Amazon's head of tech recruiting, and as a consultant, he has helped companies put hiring committees and pipeline interviewing models in place. Watch the webinar to learn more about these interview models.
