Hiring SOP Templates

Standard operating procedures for fair, repeatable hiring.

Deborah Adeleye-Olalekan 5 min read

Core SOPs every team should have

  • How a role is opened and approved.
  • How job descriptions are reviewed for inclusive language.
  • Who reviews shortlists and on what cadence.
  • How interview feedback is collected and stored.
  • How offers are constructed and approved.
  • How candidate data is retained and deleted.

Lightweight is better than perfect

A two-page SOP your team actually follows is more valuable than a 30-page playbook nobody reads. Start small, version it, and review it every quarter.
