We use a standardized interview template of questions to grill entrepreneurs about their experiences with hiring employees. We’re trying to keep the questions the same, or close to the same, each time. Why?
- It works a bit like the strategy I employed in college to save time studying: gather a group of people to concentrate on answering the same or similar questions/challenges and you’ll have an awesome depth of knowledge on certain issues, based on practical experiences. This can help us avoid making the same mistakes as others in our position.
- You’ll also see how differently two or more people can solve the same challenge. We’ll have a collection of what’s worked and what does not, on certain issues. Hopefully, you’ll be able to see just how many ways there are to skin a cat.
- It’s easier to read quickly!
I promise that we’re not using this format because we’re lazy. This is the way I learn, so I thought there might be some other business owners out there who would appreciate learning about small business hiring the same way I do.
