An interview might seem straightforward but as the interviewer, it’s good to plan ahead. Here are some of the best ways to improve job interview skills and conduct an effective interview:
- Assess the candidate early on by using the candidate’s CV to find out more about their background, and ask similar questions to each candidate to compare answers
- Make sure you take notes, so you can remember what answers they gave and how they acted in the interview
- Reduce the number of distractions by choosing a place that isn’t busy and where both you and the candidate would be comfortable
- Ensure the candidate feels at ease and comfortable throughout the process. This could be by starting a professional but casual conversation or starting with outlining the job role and what the company does
