    Why Use an Intake Form?

    Prevent Miscommunication

    Capture requirements upfront so you and the hiring manager are aligned before you start sourcing. No surprises halfway through the search.

    Save Time

    One comprehensive intake meeting beats five follow-up calls. Get all the information you need in a single session.

    Improve Quality

    When you truly understand what success looks like, you can source candidates who actually fit the role, not just the job description.

    Set Expectations

    Document timeline expectations, budget constraints, and process upfront. Makes it easier to manage stakeholder expectations later.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When should I conduct an intake meeting?

    Before you write the job description or start sourcing. The intake meeting should be your first step when a new requisition opens.

    Who should attend the intake meeting?

    At minimum: you (the recruiter) and the hiring manager. Ideally, include a key team member who'll work with the new hire and understand day-to-day requirements.

    How long should an intake meeting take?

    45-60 minutes for most roles. More for senior/executive positions. Less for backfills of well-defined roles.

    What if the hiring manager can't answer some questions?

    That's common and important to surface. Schedule a follow-up to get answers before you start sourcing. Unclear requirements lead to bad hires.

    Should I share this form with the hiring manager beforehand?

    Yes! Sending it 24 hours before the meeting lets them prepare thoughtful answers. Results in a more productive conversation.
