Interviews can be tough — not just for candidates, but for employers too! They tend to be long and time-consuming, and it’s easy to ask the wrong questions.
Fortunately, we give you personalized interview questions to make interviewing easy and productive. And in this post, we’ll show you how to make the most of them…
Preparing for the Interview
It’s not just the applicant who should prepare for the interview! Make sure to do your homework as well, so that you get the most out of it.
Some tips include:
- Understand the job description thoroughly.
- Know which skills are critical to getting the job done well.
- Focus questions/probing on areas that directly affect the job.
- Do not oversell the position or the company.
- Have a pen and paper or your laptop to list out the questions you plan to ask in advance for the specific job and write down the answers so you don’t miss anything and can compare applicants later.
The Interview Questions
We provide personalized behavioral interview questions in every Applicant Results Report. These questions are based specifically around your unique job and your applicant’s unique scores.
For example:
It’s often hard to detect certain things in an interview because most people prepare really, really well for them. So, the personalized questions are designed to help you explore the most important areas to learn more about your applicants.
Sample Responses
For every question, we’ve even included some example Weak Responses and Strong Responses to look out for.
Then based on the candidate’s (in this case, “Chris’s”) responses to your questions, you can score him or her using the scoring scale at the bottom of each interview question page.
Altogether, this should help you — or anyone you manage — hire like a pro!
