Behind the name
Some interviews move past practiced answers. Others never leave the surface. Chad started paying attention to what made the difference.
It wasn’t a better list of questions. It was genuine curiosity about the person across from him and the willingness to follow where the conversation went.
That same curiosity became Caring for Strangers.
A hiring decision starts where an episode does: care enough to get curious about the person in front of you.
The Caring for Strangers Hiring Process gives that curiosity structure, seven consistent steps that clarify what a role requires and who the person actually is, so both sides can tell whether they belong together.
Curiosity is also what puts people in roles where they actually thrive.
