Interview Tips for YOU the Employer
- Have your questions ready - they should be written down and relevant to the position and the competencies required - make notes
- Ensure you use the same technique with each candidate asking the same questions and recording their responses
- Ask questions about real life work situations and how they would or did handle them, and what the outcome and results were
- You can ask about their interests and hobbies outside the workplace, but be careful not to ask questions in conflict with the Discrimination Act
- Try to have a second person with you during the interview as this will allow a second opinion when you compare notes at the end of the session
- Use AER to select and ensure your time is only spent with candidates who have the competencies and skill base to do the job well - making your job a little easier – ensuring you get the right person for the team
- Do not offer a candidate the role on the spot….always say that you will get back to the agency and they will be in touch.
