Hiring an All-Star Staff for the Boston Red Sox

To find the 700 seasonal employees it needs each year, Boston Red Sox used to host a massive one-day recruiting event. It was inefficient and impersonal, so they decided to overhaul the entire process. In this HCI Keynote video, Senior Director of HR Michael Danubio explains how this legendary baseball organization found a more efficient way to screen candidates, quickly return managers to their day jobs, and create a great candidate experience. 

Key insights:

  • Demonstrate the recruiting technologies you are considering implementing in order to get stakeholder buy-in.
  • Improve candidate satisfaction with video interviews by having current employees ask the questions.
  • Re-screen video interviews just prior to the in-person interview, in order to enhance preparation and familiarity with the candidate as well as inspire richer conversations.
