How to Interview Candidates

There are several steps that an interviewer can follow to conduct an effective job interview. They are as follows: 

Prepare your questions

You should know what you are after in a new hire before seeing them in person so you can ask the right questions during the interview.

Reduce the stress on candidates

Reduce candidate stress, communicate interview topics, accommodate their preferred meeting time, inform them of the company's dress code policy, aiming for a comfortable and productive conversation.

Involve a few other people

It is critical to seek input from others while making a major decision, so solicit the help of a few coworkers to conduct the interviews. Before making a final decision, you can also confer with them.

Assess potential

Assess candidates’ industry knowledge and problem-solving skills by asking relevant questions, evaluating their critical thinking and speed in providing solutions.
