Looking to improve speed, quality, and diversity?
Your Hiring Managers must be great.
Since 2005, we’ve built custom training for 10,000+ hiring managers from leading companies around the world. While our regular interview training includes advanced interviewing techniques, we recognized a need for a 2.0 training specific to hiring managers, focused more on how to be a successful hiring manager at your company. This training is perfect for companies that have either already hired us to deliver core interview training, or who already have internal interviewing training, and want to raise the bar on hiring manager capabilities.
“Because we custom build this training to map to your expectations and your priorities around speed, quality, diversity, and candidate experience, the agenda can look quite different company-to-company. But all of our License to Hire training focuses on helping hiring managers win top talent – for some clients, we spend more time on attracting and engaging, while for others, we focus more on hiring decisions and selling. You collaborate with us to prioritize the agenda, scenarios, and length of the program. And then – post-training – we help you drive adoption and scale your best practices across your org.”

What’s covered in Recruiting Toolbox’s
License to Hire For Hiring Managers?
Typical agenda for our live, custom built, 6-9 hour License to Hire Training for Hiring Managers Workshop:
Note: This agenda assumes all hiring managers have already completed a core behavioral interviewing, legal dos and don’ts, bias, and process training.
After completing this workshops, your Hiring Managers will be able to…
- Effectively attract and engage top talent.
- Convert traditional job description language into compelling, targeted sales messages and objective hiring criteria.
- Identify and fix root issues that lead hiring teams to make poor hiring decisions – both false positive (bad hires) and false negative (missing out on good hires) hiring decisions.
- Hire based on evidence of performance, not biases and poor proxies for quality.
- Lead and ensure fair, equitable assessment practices and champion diversity when setting up their interview process, selecting their interview team, and make their hiring decisions
- Drive alignment on what good looks like with their recruiting partner and their interviewing team.
- Ensure their interviewing teams make quality, long-term hiring decisions that are aligned to your company’s hiring principles.
- Leverage great interviewing and storytelling to attract and sell candidates.
- Embed a culture of recruiting into your company, where everyone plays a role in getting great talent and personally role-model strong leadership around all things hiring.
Custom Training starts with consulting work.
- Assume your participants already know the basics of behavioral interviewing, legal dos and don’ts, biases, and process. This workshop is a 2.0 workshop, designed to elevate your hiring manager capabilities and improve speed, quality, and diversity outcomes. So, we start our projects with focus groups and surveys to help identify what expectations we should have of hiring managers as partners to talent acquisition and as talent champions. We also learn about your current process, role expectations, hiring challenges, and leadership opportunities. Then, we collaborate with you to build a License to Hire training agenda that aligns to your talent goals and priorities.
- We also consult with you early in the project to help you define your hiring bar, which includes articulating your hiring principles, your diversity point of view, your critical behaviors/competencies, and your process. That way, we can be prescriptive in the training, and teach your company-specific approach to hiring, not just generic best practices. Your hiring managers leave the training knowing what’s expected of them and how they can help the company grow with the right talent.
Why invest in License to Hire Training?
- Because top talent demands great hiring managers.
- Because great hiring managers get speed, quality, and diversity.
- Because there’s great risk to your culture and hiring bar if hiring managers don’t align their approach to hiring to your company-wide hiring philosophy.
- Because great hiring managers set the bar high and role model great hiring for the rest of your organization.

Our License to Hire Training for Hiring Managers is led by talented former Corporate Recruiting Leaders from companies like Amazon, Expedia, Starbucks, Yahoo, Disney, T-Mobile, KPMG, and Marriott. We are experienced consultants and trainers who bring a real-world, practical approach to our clients’ biggest recruiting challenges, and build relationships with clients that last years and years.
Our team has been hired and trusted by world class companies from over 20 countries to train thousands of hiring managers. Learn more about our practitioner background and credibility here.
This custom training is designed for teams of 12+ corporate hiring managers. Recruiters and HR reps are invited to participate, but the primary audience is business leaders who recruit, interview, select, and sell talent.
We conduct focus group calls with your hiring teams before we design your training. This helps us to customize the content to your needs and ensure that the training is practical and actionable.
A typical workshop will have up to 20 hiring managers in each workshop, so that we can keep everyone engaged, and keep small-group discussions and exercises small enough so that everyone feels like they’re contributing in your in-person or virtual training. If you have a team larger than 20 people, we’d deliver multiple sessions.
This training is built for corporate hiring teams only. If you work for an agency or RPO firm and you like our approach, or if you’re looking for individual training, you can check out our resources for solo recruiters, agencies, and small teams here.
Our training delivery options allow you to choose the format that works best for your team:
- Live, virtual delivery spread over multiple days in 2.5 hour zooms. Usually 6-9 hours of total content.
- In-person live delivery delivered in 1 day or two half days.
- Online, pre-recorded training delivered in 3-6 minute videos. Companies like Cisco, HelloFresh, and Booking certify their hiring managers with our online training.
How do we scale this for larger organizations? If you choose live training, we build a custom train-the-trainer workshop, certify your trainers, and then your internal trainers would deliver ongoing training to help you scale across your org. This is what LinkedIn hired us to do, for example – we trained an initial batch of hiring managers, and then built a train-the-trainer program to certify their internal trainers, so that they can deliver our License to Hire workshop to their hiring managers going forward.
