+# Hiring and Job Search Process
+
+This page contains information about the hiring process at 2i2c.
+It is meant to be a helpful guide and resources to streamline hiring in the future[^references].
+
+[^references]: 
+    - This interview structure is heavily-inspired by [the IOI strategic director interview template](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q9tfzu5VRi6kW4A5JLOF7CXHzVNJQE502q68BmfRUjs/edit) and [Code for Science and Society's hiring process](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12IgSVi2UMfW3PPHkK3iPESghM2kgZ_E-4mYhOzO1JRo/edit).
+    - We take heavy inspiration from [Project Include's inclusive hiring documentation](https://projectinclude.org/hiring).
+
+
+## Hiring Team
+
+The hiring team carries out the hiring process.
+The team consists of two different types of people:
+
+```{glossary}
+Hiring Lead
+  The Hiring Lead oversees the hiring process for a candidate.
+  They are usually:
+
+  - The direct supervisor of the person to be hired
+  - Experienced with the goals and needs of this hire.
+  - Experienced with the skills and qualities needed for the job
+  - Familiar with hiring processes in general (at 2i2c or elsewhere)
+
+Hiring team members
+  Individuals that help out with various parts of the hiring process.
+  We aim to spread the load of serving on hiring committees across team members, and try to have committee members for individuals that will work closely with the new hire.
+```
+
+## The hiring process
+
+Most of our hiring process is defined in a collection of Google Document templates that are meant to be copied and modified for new hires.
+Here are two relevant links:
+
+- [This Google Drive Folder for our hiring process documents](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O1dBkkp_ZYRcDip-tYtwaacsCPclHI3c5aIFXR_mmEA/edit?usp=sharing) has all template files we use in hiring.
+- [This Hiring Process Outline](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12OGWrjBXRQwfGuR1lE-uxJLsCKrKu5yvm3xNibndJTA/edit?usp=sharing) describes the overall process and steps to organize our candidate search.
+
+Briefly, this is the process that we follow:
+
+- Create and post the job.
+- Create an AirTable application portal with {term}`CS&S`.
+- Applicants answer several questions and provide their CV.
+- Triage all applicants and narrow down to 4-8 we wish to learn more about.
+- Screen 4-8 applicants with a 30 minute phone call.
+- Interview 1-3 applicants in a 90 minute interview.
+- Discuss and rank candidates.
+- Make an offer.
