The Kichocheo Process: Slowing Down for Better Alignment

"Kichocheo Process"

One of the key insights from our online event was the introduction of the "Kichocheo process" in decision-making. This approach involves intentional debriefs and asking a series of questions to assess skills, competencies, and core values in the early stages of the hiring process. By taking time for reflection and intentionality, it ensures everyone involved is on the same page and helps prevent misalignment between hiring managers and colleagues later on.

The Controversy Surrounding Slow Hiring

The idea of slow hiring sparked some debate among the panelists. Yvonne explained that the concept often clashes with the hypermasculine notion of speed and aggression prevalent in some workplace cultures. However, she asserted that taking time to make well-informed decisions, creating alignment, and fostering transparency are critical for long-term success. Many recruiters and hiring managers have witnessed the negative impact of a hurried hiring process.

Embracing Intuition: A Skill to Be Cultivated

As the event drew to a close, the panelists shared parting thoughts on intuition. Shoshanna likened intuition to a skill, just like communication, and emphasized that it can be developed with practice.
