Interview is the main recruitment method. The quality of the work of the future employee, and, therefore, the success of the company, largely depends on how competently it will be carried out.
Instructions
Step 1
Notify the candidate in advance of the exact time of the interview and tell them how to get to you.
Step 2
Prepare a room where you will not be distracted - this can be a separate office or meeting room.
Step 3
Print out the applicant's resume so that your interview will be based on the facts that are stated in it.
Step 4
Prepare in advance the questions to ask the candidate at the meeting. Think about what professional qualities an ideal job seeker should have, write them on paper and sort them according to their importance.
Step 5
Start your interview with abstract topics, not work-related questions. Ask if it is convenient for the candidate to get to the office, if he easily found the address - this will calm him down and give him the opportunity to relax. Tell us briefly about your company: the specifics of the business, the open vacancy.
Step 6
During the conversation, pose the questions in such a way that they nudge you to a detailed answer, and not to monosyllabic "yes" or "no". For example, instead of the question "Were you satisfied with the salary at your last job?" it is better to ask the question "What were the reasons for your dismissal?"
Step 7
Be correct. If you see that the candidate is worried and struggling to find words, do not interrupt or show your disdain.
Step 8
Do not resort to stressful interviews unnecessarily, especially if the job is not stress-resistant.
Step 9
Think of other methods for evaluating a candidate - questionnaires, tests, presentations. For example, if you are looking for an accountant, and for this position you need an attentive person who can focus on work, it is advisable to conduct an attentiveness test.
Step 10
Be prepared for the candidate to ask you a few questions too. Most often, they ask questions about the indexation of wages, about the reasons for opening a vacancy, about possible overtime.
Step 11
Finally, thank the applicant for their visit and let them know when you can call and report your decision.
