Quick Tips on Interviewing

We not only work with clients with candidate sourcing, but we take it to the next level as an employment search service.

We help clients with interviewing candidates and with on boarding.

Here some quick tips on how to improve your interview process.

Intros and Small talk

The first few minutes of an interview are very important because they set the tone for the rest of the interview. This is your shot to get the candidate to feel relaxed and comfortable immediately.

The Interview

Before you begin the interview, make sure that you have identified 2-4 skills that you want to optimize for the role. Three is a good number — any more than that, there are too many factors to consider and decision-making fatigue will occur.

Here are some skills you may want to consider:

1. Technical ability (i.e. accounting knowledge, SQL writing, etc.)

2. Communication (especially in client-facing roles)

3. Leadership experience (manager-level and above)

Sell the opportunity

By the time an interview is ending, you should have an idea about whether the candidate is right for the job. If you feel good about the match, then shift to selling the job and your company. An effective interview is a two way street!
