Your Ultimate Hiring Guide
Here's everything you need to know about hiring your new starter - from finding the best candidates to making a good impression during their onboarding.
Conducting Interviews Like A Pro
Interviews are your chance to dig deeper into a candidate’s skills, experience, and personality. Conducting a great interview can help you uncover whether a candidate is the right fit for your team.
Here are four top tips to help you interview like a pro.
1
Prepare Focused Questions
Prepare a set of questions that align directly with the role and your company’s values. This ensures you're assessing candidates based on relevant criteria rather than relying on gut feelings.
Structured interviews also provide a consistent experience for every candidate, allowing you to make fair comparisons.
2
Utilise Behavioral Interviewing
Behavioral questions help you assess how candidates have handled situations in the past, giving insight into how they might perform in the future.
Ask about specific challenges they’ve faced and how they resolved them. These responses are far more telling than hypothetical questions.
3
Comfortable Atmosphere
Candidates perform best when they feel comfortable. Start the interview with some casual conversation to put them at ease before diving into the more serious questions.
A relaxed atmosphere allows candidates to be themselves, and it makes it easier for you to gauge their true potential.
4
Remember To Sell Your Business
Interviews are a two-way street. Top candidates often have multiple offers, so use the interview as an opportunity to sell your company. Talk about growth opportunities, company culture, and why your organisation is a great place to work.
Show candidates why they should choose you as their next employer.
