PROMPT

Create a skill called "Quality of Hire Loop". Inputs: - Role family (engineering, sales, ops, etc.) - What "good performance" looks like - When the manager can evaluate (30/60/90 days) Output: 1) A 30-day manager check-in (6–10 questions) 2) A 90-day quality-of-hire scorecard (competencies + outcomes) 3) A new-hire self-reflection survey (short) 4) A root-cause review template when quality is low: - sourcing mismatch? - screening criteria wrong? - interview signals misread? - onboarding failure? 5) Concrete adjustments to the recruiting process based on outcomes

How It Works

Define the role family and what good performance looks like. The skill

creates check-in templates, scorecards, and a root-cause review process.

What You Get

  • A 30-day manager check-in (6–10 questions)
  • A 90-day quality-of-hire scorecard
  • A new-hire self-reflection survey
  • A root-cause review template (when quality is low)
  • Concrete process adjustments based on outcomes

Setup Steps

  1. Define the role family (engineering, sales, ops, etc.)
  2. Describe what good performance looks like
  3. Set evaluation timing (30/60/90 days)
  4. Deploy the check-ins and review results quarterly

Tips

  • The root-cause template is where the real improvement happens
  • Common causes: screening criteria wrong, interview signals misread, onboarding failure
  • New-hire self-reflection catches "expectation mismatch" early
  • Close the loop with the recruiting team — otherwise data goes nowhere
