Segment 3 - The Perfect Interview- Situational questions, flow, and internal rating scale
1- Preparation is key
2- The actual Interview- define the interviewers roles based on the already preselected questions and needs……you can ask other questions, but you should have some preselected core questions you ask every candidate. I recommend a minimum of 3 situation questions that allow you to have a conversation around previous work outcome or achievement. As these give you the most insight and allow you to compare between candidates.
3- Divide the Interview into three parts 1-Welcome and introduction- explain the interview process for today- allows the candidate to become comfortable and relax. Ask topical questions to gain further insight into their character, and allow you to develop a gut feel for the answers. 2- Ask the candidate to review the last 10 years of their work history with you. You will ask questions as they go and after they finish. When they have finished if you have not already completed your preselected questions then review those. 3- General wrap up, give the candidate a chance to ask any questions that they need to. Plus ask any relevant final questions yourself, such as if you were successful, how long before you can start, what is your salary expectation and do you have and leave plans, or medical conditions that would stop you from performing parts or all of the role. At this point it is critical to give the candidate next steps, both for them and your brand. Don’t forget follow up
Types of questions to ask- Situational open and example driven, expect clear answers, look for I not we, Ask situational questions that are relevant to your workplace.
Remember this is about tailoring this key part of the recruitment process to your workplace! YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TRANSFERABLE SKILLS.
