High-volume hiring in crew recruitment rarely breaks because people don’t know what they’re doing.
It breaks when demand spikes, timelines tighten, decisions slow, and multiple stakeholders are pulling in different directions.
This checklist isn’t a lesson in how to hire.
It’s a practical tool for people responsible for keeping hiring moving at scale, when pressure builds, and small delays compound.
Use it to:
Sense-check readiness before roles go live
Identify where momentum is most likely to stall
Keep hiring moving without adding unnecessary friction
