Who it’s for

For HR teams that want every manager hiring the same way.

Essential is the self-guided version of the roadmap. It’s built for HR teams, hiring managers, and people leaders who want to fix the small things that screen capable people out, at their own pace and on their own schedule.

A strong fit if

You want a practical starting point without a consulting engagement.
Your managers need a shared language and repeatable practices.
You prefer flexible, self-paced training.
You have internal leaders who can own implementation.

What’s inside

A complete foundation, delivered in your account.

01
Manager training
Eleven video modules taught by Debra Solomon on recruiting, interviewing, disclosure, accommodations, team building, performance reviews, and career paths.
02
Employee education
A self-paced video for the wider team that builds awareness and stronger teamwork.
03
Private Slack channel
Your team’s own channel in the Spectrum Roadmap Slack workspace, with everyone on your HR team in it. Bring the hard cases and our team answers.
04
HR AI tools
Job description review and interview question review, inside your account, for everyone on your team.
05
Group coaching with Debra
Every other Thursday at 10 am ET. Bring your team’s questions to the live call and get answers from Debra as part of the group.

Included with your roadmap

Two tools your team will keep using.

Training changes how people think. These change what goes out the door. Both live inside your Spectrum Roadmap account and both are included with Essential and Premium.

Job description review

Paste a job description. Get back the lines that quietly screen people out, with clearer rewrites, so the next posting reaches the talent your process has been missing.

Interview question review

Paste your interview questions. Get the version that shows what a candidate can actually do, in the style your managers already use.

Built from the roadmap curriculum. Reviewed by Debra.

A note from Debra

Most of what your team will change after this course is small. A question asked differently. Instructions written down. A review that measures the work rather than the small talk. I built Essential so a team could make those changes without waiting for me.

Questions about Essential.

How many people can use it?

Unlimited seats for your HR team at one price. You do not buy a license per person and you do not have to choose who gets in. After you purchase, our fulfillment team sets up logins for everyone on your HR team, and each person gets the eleven video modules, the employee education video, the HR AI tools, and a seat in your private Slack channel. The employee education video is there to share with the wider company as well.

What happens after we buy?

Our fulfillment team reaches out first. They set up logins for everyone on your HR team and open your private Slack channel in the Spectrum Roadmap workspace, with our team in it. Everything lives in your account at app.spectrumroadmap.com, and you sign in with Google or with an email and password. From there your team can start the modules, run a job description through the HR AI tools, and join the next community call with Debra.

How much time does it take?

The eleven modules run two to six minutes each, about 44 minutes in total, plus a six minute employee education video for the wider company. It is short on purpose, because a manager will finish 44 minutes and will not finish a day of training. Most teams either watch a module together at the start of a team meeting, or assign one for the week and bring the questions to the Thursday call with Debra.

What are the HR AI tools?

Two reviewers, both in your account. Paste in a job description and you get back the lines that screen capable people out, with clearer rewrites. Paste in your interview questions and you get back a version that shows what a candidate can actually do. Everyone on your HR team can use them, and they are included with the Essential Roadmap and the Premium Roadmap. They were built from the roadmap curriculum and reviewed by Debra.

What if we want Debra working with us directly?

That is the Premium Roadmap. It includes everything here, plus a customized assessment of how your organization hires and manages today, four private Zoom sessions with Debra across four months, our fulfillment team working with your HR leads to personalize the roadmap and to help write and review your job descriptions and interview questions, and Debra in your Slack channel between sessions. After the four months, more sessions are available a la carte. See the Premium Roadmap.

Give your team a practical path to more inclusive hiring.

Your purchase includes access to the program through your Spectrum Roadmap account.
