The DNA Behavior Revolution: Walking the Walk in BeSci Tech
At DNA Behavior, we believe in using the tools we create to transform our internal processes. This belief is especially true for our hiring practices. As we pave our way toward being recognized as a "Best Place to Work," it's crucial that we embody the principles we advocate. This commitment led us to develop a hiring process that is not only streamlined and fair but also deeply rooted in understanding the behavioral fit of each candidate.

Overcoming Challenges: From Overwhelmed to Streamlined Efficiency
The recent shift in the job market brought an overwhelming surge of applications. What used to be a manageable 50-70 candidates per role skyrocketed to 400, challenging our recruiting team's capacity to process and evaluate each applicant effectively. The need for a solution was clear: we needed to transform our hiring process to enhance the candidate experience and manage the volume without compromising on quality.

Creating a workplace where every team member feels valued and empowered is our compass at DNA Behavior. Our journey to becoming a Best Place to Work hinges on two crucial pillars: fair hiring processes and a psychologically safe environment for all. Leveraging AI to standardize these processes not only streamlines operations but also fosters inclusivity and trust from day one of onboarding.

Implementation Journey: Detailed Steps to Streamlined Hiring
Our journey to refine the hiring process involved a series of meticulously designed steps, each leveraging the capabilities of the DNA Web App to ensure efficiency, fairness, and the perfect cultural fit.

Creating Role-Specific Tags
To keep our hiring process organized and efficient, we initiated the practice of creating role-specific tags. This system allows us to categorize candidates effortlessly and ensures that we can quickly identify the best fit for particular roles. For example, for an Office Manager position, we would create a tag named "JobOfficeManager," simplifying the tracking and management of applicants for that role.

Generating Self-Registration Links
We streamlined the application process by introducing self-registration links. These unique URLs, tied to specific job roles via tags, automate the application process, allowing candidates' results to be directly integrated into our system. This customization ensures that each candidate's journey is tailored to the role they're applying for.

Integrating self-registration links into the job application form was a game-changer. This inclusion not only simplified the application process for candidates but ensured that their profiles were automatically tagged and sorted in our system, making the review process much more efficient.

Real-Time Alerts for Completed Profiles
The moment a candidate completes their profile, our team is notified via email alerts. This feature ensures timely reviews and keeps the hiring process moving without unnecessary delays.

Utilizing Gene AI for Candidate Filtering
Gene AI plays a vital role in filtering applicants to identify those whose behavioral traits are the best match the role. This AI-driven process is especially beneficial in managing large volumes of applications, ensuring that only the most suitable candidates move forward. For roles like Office Manager, specific AI prompts help tailor the filtering process to the unique requirements of the position.
