The interview only gathers the evidence. The real hiring decision happens in the debrief.

In Part 2 of this Hiring Masterclass, former Amazon Bar Raiser Sean O’Neill explains how great hiring teams compare evidence, challenge assumptions, and make confident decisions about who joins the team.

Sean shares the debrief practices he learned and refined across thousands of interviews, including blind voting, structured scoring, re-voting, candidate ranking, and how to avoid bias, groupthink, and the loudest voice in the room.

You’ll learn how to run a focused debrief, when to challenge the panel, how to handle split decisions, why “on the fence” is a weak vote, and how to decide whether a candidate truly raises the bar.

If you hire people, manage teams, or want to understand what happens after the interview, this episode is for you.
