Write out all of the questions that can't be answered from reading a resume alone.

2.Select the minimum viable interviewers

Figure out who can answer those questions and how much time they'll need.

Ideally use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), or at the least a spreadsheet

Being Prepared

Prep your Recruiters

Take the time to communicate all of the non-negotiables, and the spirit of the role

Prep your Candidates
