Answer 1

Ans) 15) Effective interviewing is always well structured. Six stages to consider include:

1. Introduction

- Make the candidate feel comfortable, initiate some small talk to put them at ease. For example, tell them a bit about the company and its aims and outline the particular position on offer. Keep it short, you can expand later if you feel the candidate is suitable.
- Explain the structure of the interview.
- Invite the candidate to ask questions and check for understanding at any time.
- From this point on the amount and quality of the information that you establish will be largely due to the effectiveness of your questions. Use open questions (e.g. tell me about... how do you... why did you... talk me through ...) and probe from the general to the specific. Avoid any questions which could be considered discriminatory.

2. Initially assess the candidate

- Using their CV as a prompt, find out more about the candidate's background.
- Ask leading questions, listen carefully without interrupting and let them sell themselves.
- Keep notes of all their replies so you have something to refer to later.

3. Discuss competencies, skills and capabilities

- Get them to expand on their skills and demonstrate how they relate to your job requirements.
- Keep your tone mild and non-judgemental, particularly when asking difficult questions.

4. Sell the job

- If impressed so far, explain the job in more detail, how it fits in, the growth potential, the pay package and other benefits.
- You need to make the opportunity appear as attractive as possible, motivating the best candidates to want to work for you.
- Discuss and sell the branding of your company through its reputation and corporate culture.

5. Candidate questions

- Don't forget to ask the candidate if they have any questions.
- This is a good way to find out how much research they've done and if they are really serious about the position.

6. Closing the session

- Summarise what's been said and clarify any vague areas.
- Ask if they still want to be considered and find out about any obstacles to starting if you both decide to go ahead.
- Explain how the next contact will be made and give an approximate time-frame.
