Quality Interviews For Hiring The Right Candidate

Hiring the candidate is difficult task. By conducting quality interviews, interviewer can easily hire a right candidate. For conducting quality interview, the interviewer should follow some steps.

  • The interviewer need to do some home work before going for the interview, this means the interviewer should study the information about the resume, cover letter, and any other material that was submitted to the organization by the candidate. It will save the time whiles interviewing the candidate. If the interviewer is familiar with that information, he or she can easily frame the questions based on candidate education, experience, and skills.
  • The interviewer should not take the decision based on first impression. Interviewer needs to study the behavior of the candidates by asking behavioral questions. Their resumes may be filled with different skills such as “I am a team player”, “multitasking”, “Organized”; anyone can include this on resume. By asking behavioral questions, the interviewer can identify the facts.

After completion of the face-to-face interview, the important task is evaluating the answers. The purpose of asking questions is not to get the correct answers.

The purpose is only to assess the candidate’s reaction towards the tricky questions.
