4.2.1.4.2. Interview Process
Introduction: Introduce yourself and any other interviewers, explain the interview structure, and make the candidate comfortable.
Questions: Ask the prepared questions, encouraging detailed responses and active listening. Maintain the 80/20 rule, where the candidate talks 80% of the time.
Wrap-Up: Provide details about the job and the company. Allow the candidate to ask questions and explain the next steps in the hiring process.
Performance-Based Component: For certain positions, incorporating a performance-based component, where candidates demonstrate relevant skills, can be beneficial. Inform candidates ahead of time to ensure they are prepared. This method, combined with traditional interview questions, helps identify the best fit for the role.
Interview Tips
- Trust your intuition but remain objective.
- Use consistent questions for all candidates for fair evaluation.
- Practice active listening and observe non-verbal cues.
