A hiring stand-up agenda that follows the funnel

A weekly hiring stand-up drifts when everyone brings a different slide. Anchor the meeting to one recruitment funnel dashboard and a fixed order:

  1. Movement — candidates who advanced or exited since last week.
  2. Stalls — any stage over your agreed day threshold.
  3. Sources — only when a channel’s hire conversion moved more than your agreed band.
  4. One decision — a single action with an owner and a date.

Keep the meeting under thirty minutes. If a topic needs a deep dive, schedule it outside the stand-up rather than stretching the funnel review into a general talent forum.

Bring the previous week’s decision list to the top of the next agenda. Unfinished actions are part of hiring analytics too — they explain why the funnel did not move.
