Employment Law Tip: 4 Tips for Conducting Successful Job Interviews

A job interview, like all selection
devices, must be designed to measure the important knowledge, skills,
and abilities required for the job. How can you best conduct an
interview to find out which candidates have these qualities? Here are
four guidelines:

1. Ask candidates to indicate how and in what way they perform duties that require the skills you want to assess.
2. Ask all candidates the same questions; 5 to 15 questions is a good benchmark to follow.
3. Follow each of these skills-based questions with questions designed to find out the person’s level of knowledge and ability.
4. Dwell on a few questions in depth. You will understand the
   capabilities of a candidate better by finding out a lot about their
   experience in relation to one or two projects they worked on that are
   closely associated with the work you will assign.
