HRM
Lab Curriculum.

BUG FOUND: HR learners who know HR terms, but cannot run a hiring pipeline that actually fills roles.

$ step-01 brushup // weeks 1–2 — Topics taught:

1. Writing a job brief: must-have vs nice-to-have, and how it shapes shortlisting.
2. Candidate shortlisting: reading profiles against a brief, not keywords alone.
3. Structured interview basics: questions, scoring, and bias risks.
4. HR operations basics: offers, joining, and onboarding checklists.
5. HR data basics: pipeline stages, conversion rates, and time-to-fill.
6. Communication basics: candidate updates, rejections, and internal notes.

$ step-02 debug // weeks 3–4 — Production Debugging. Tools: sample profiles, pipeline tracker, interview scorecards.

• BUG #1: Pipeline breaks: good candidates drop out — find the communication / stage cause, fix the process.
• BUG #2: Shortlisting errors: strong profiles rejected, weak ones advanced — audit the shortlist against the brief, correct it with reasons.
• BUG #3: Onboarding gaps: a new hire arrives with missing access / documents — build and apply a complete onboarding checklist.
• BUG #4: Lost candidates: no record of why candidates left — rebuild tracking, add stage-exit reasons, report the pattern.

$ step-03 navigate // weeks 5–7 — Codebase / System Navigation:

• Navigate HR systems and candidate data: trace a candidate journey from application to offer, find every gap.
• Fix data and communication gaps without losing history; document changes.
• Run a structured interview panel simulation: score, compare, and defend a decision with evidence.
• Review a peer's hiring decision for bias, missing evidence, and brief alignment.

$ step-04 ship // weeks 8–9 — Shipping Features: capstone — a hiring pipeline + shortlisting scorecards for a real role, with a hiring decision note and an onboarding plan.

$ ship → PROOF — exact output: hiring pipeline tracker, shortlisting scorecards, hiring decision note, and an onboarding checklist.
