Replication journey

Recruitment & selection

How do you build a credible, balanced cohort?

Chapter purpose

Selection combines mandate, merit and deliberately engineered representation.

Practical implications

What this means in practice

  1. 01

    Use a 100-point rubric across eight weighted dimensions.

  2. 02

    Run screen, score, consensus and ratification as separate stages.

  3. 03

    Track offers until they are received and acknowledged across more than one channel.

  4. 04

    Use quotas and tie-break rules transparently rather than hoping balance will emerge.
