Interview Tips
01
Prepare Thoroughly
Review the candidate’s CV and application before the interview to understand their background and experience. Prepare a list of role-specific questions to assess their skills and suitability. This ensures a structured and focused discussion.
03
Ask Open-Ended Questions.
Use questions that encourage candidates to elaborate on their experiences, such as “Can you describe a time when you faced a challenge at work and how you handled it?” This provides insight into their problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and adaptability.
02
Create a Comfortable Environment.
Begin the interview with a friendly introduction and explain the format of the session. This helps put the candidate at ease, encouraging open and honest communication.
04
Take Notes and Stay Objective.
Record key points during the interview to help compare candidates later. Focus on the candidate’s responses rather than making quick judgments, and evaluate them based on the skills and qualities required for the role.
Areas of Concern
01
Lack of Preparation
Candidates who are unfamiliar with the company, role, or job requirements may not have taken the time to prepare. This could indicate a lack of genuine interest or commitment to the position.
03
Poor Communication Skills
Difficulty articulating ideas, interrupting, or displaying unprofessional language can indicate challenges with effective communication, which is often critical for teamwork and collaboration.
02
Vague or Inconsistent Responses
If a candidate struggles to provide clear examples of their experience or gives inconsistent answers, it may suggest they are overstating their qualifications or lack relevant experience.
04
Negative Attitude Toward Previous Employers
Speaking poorly about past employers, colleagues, or workplaces may signal a lack of professionalism or difficulty maintaining positive working relationships.
