Cooking to Hire
What if I told you the key to hiring the next great coworker wasn’t a platform, a process, or a policy—but nothing more than the stories and memories you already have, and a room that already exists in your home? The kitchen.
Work completed at Parsons School of Design.
During my time at Parsons School of Design, I explored the connection between food and hiring—reimagining how we bring on new coworkers and how company culture and values are formed from the very beginning.
Process and Inspiration
Through eight cooking-based interviews and supporting research, I found that preparing food as part of the interview process allows both participants to be seen as people first. As they cook together, stories naturally emerge, and each person shares more of who they are than they would in a traditional interview setting.
