Does interviewing happen naturally? It is a skill that is improved over time. Hiring managers need to learn the skill of interviewing to avoid any hiring mistakes. The first step to becoming a good interviewer is preparation. As much as interviewees prepare for interviews, hiring managers also need to prepare. Preparation will help you build a good rapport with the candidates. What does preparation entail? ✔️Thoroughly read through the applicant's resume to understand their skills and achivements. ✔️Prepare interview questions that are not common. Use situational questions. ✔️Always be ready to answer candidates' questions. Most questions will revolve around the role, company and the culture.

Hi all!  Does your Recruiter provide support for interviews? Lets go over the facts: Good preparation reduces nerves and increases success. As the saying goes," When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail" preparation can leave a great first impression, and we all know how important those are. Interview skills have lifetime value, they dont have a sell by date, these are skills that will be used today, tomorrow and 10 years from now. It's frustrating to be sent into an interview blind, having a recruiter that can prep you in advance will all but guarantee the interview is a success. what are your experiences? Have you ever had amazing preparation from a recruiter? What happened? Have you learned any interview tips? Hiring managers, what is your approach to interview preparation? Share your ideas! Do you prefer to dive in alone, or should recruiters step in? #Ifyouknowwhatswhatweknowwhoswho #WeDoDataEsp

Don't go into an interview blind! If your interviewing right now, my biggest piece of advice would be to do your research on the company you are speaking with. An interview is a two-way thing, you need to make sure the company is right for you, research them beforehand, have questions ready to ask in the interview. Lots of devs I am speaking to right now, join a new company and after a few months realise its not right for them. Try and identify potential challenges or opportunities within the company this can help you ask informed questions during the interview. If your working with a recruiter they should be able to provide you with all the info on the company and prepare you before each stage! Keen to hear from hiring managers about what are questions you like to hear from candidates in the interview process, let me know in comments💬 #techhiring #interviewskills #softwarejobs

Want to ace your next interview? Look out for my series of top tips! Tip #1 - Research the Company This may sound simple, but time and time again we're finding candidates are missing out this crucial step. Before getting into that interview room (or video call), arm yourself with knowledge about your potential employer. Dive deep into the company's website, recent news, and social media presence. Understanding their mission, values, and latest projects will not only demonstrate your genuine interest and preparedness, but also helps you assess whether the company aligns with your own goals and values. Pro tip: Use LinkedIn to research the company's page and employees. This can provide valuable insights into the company culture and help you tailor your responses during the interview. Remember, showing that you've done your homework sets you apart from other candidates and allows for more meaningful conversation during the interview. #InterviewTips #Recruitment #ProTips #FindingAPlayers

LETS HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH A INTERVIEW TIP !! Best way to prepare for next week's interview is by prepping TODAY ! Here is a brief checklist that will prepare you for ANY interview and in my opinion, put you in a greater state of advancement in the initial recruitment/hiring process: 1. Go to the job description and pick out the 3 core skills that you encompass.(This will require a fair share of authentic rumination). Write them down and demonstrate how you have applied those skills in your past roles. 2. Develop an answer for the inevitable question--SO TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF? (The interviewer is clearly asking for a brief elevator pitch). Hit these points and you will nail it : - Who you are. - What you do. - What you want 3. Worst thing you can do is not have questions for the interviewer ! When I am interviewing a candidate and they ask THOUGHT-PROVOKING questions, it shows that you have done your research, cements your interest and depending on the fabric of the question; makes you more reputable. Example: How do you as a leader define success in the role of interest and what are your expectations of me within the first 6 months post hire? Stay tuned for more !

Are you planning on hiring soon? Do you plan your interview questions out in advance, or do you do a last minute Google 🌐 to find some questions to ask, minutes before the candidate arrives? Or do you simply talk through the CV? For me, the key to a good discussion at interview is making it as relaxed as you can, so you get to see as much of the real person as possible. I've interviewed alongside hundreds of different leaders over the last 20+ years and the ones that made the best hires were the ones who were great at putting the candidate at ease, rather than exerting their authority (cringe) and making them clam up. Remember, you want to see the real person and what they're actually like to work with, not a pretend version that they think you're looking for. So, whatever questions you ask, remember this is an opportunity to not only do all the digging into their technical capability, but to make sure they fit your team culture as well. Oh and it's also very much about helping the candidate to see why your business is the place for them - so remember to be yourself at interview too 🤩

Fellow HR Leaders/Recruiters: Authenticity, genuine, humility. That's how I like to show up when conducting an interview. I want our candidates to know what it's like working here; the good, the bad, and the ugly because they're interviewing me and the company just as much as I'm interviewing them. It's a disservice to the candidate to sugar coat the environment and what struggles, if any, the company is going through. It's equally as important though, to show off how awesome of a company, in my case, Unlimited Tech Solutions, is to work at. At the end of the day, we just want to do really cool, interesting work, with really good people. How are you conducting your interviews? Are you asking general questions to check off the boxes or are you sharing real-time experiences and challenges with your candidates that makes the conversation more engaging? I empower you to think about this before your next interview. #authenticity #interviews #goodworkwithgoodpeople
