We’ve conducted hundreds of interviews for our clients, and perfected our approach to conducting a truly effective interview. Here are 6 things you want to *nail* in every interview:  📝    1. Prepare Thoughtfully: Draft your questions in advance. Focus on the character qualities you're seeking. 2. Assess Candidate Preparation: Do they arrive on time? Ask: "What could we improve about our business?" 3. Ask Open-Ended, Evidence-Based Questions: E.g. "What does 'blessing our customers' mean to you?" AVOID yes/no questions like "Do you show up on time?" 4. Take Detailed Notes: Focus on predetermined character qualities. Document responses thoroughly. 5. Set Clear Expectations: Commit to a response timeline (e.g., within one week). This shows respect and helps retain top candidates. 6. Review as a Team: Gather all interviewers and their notes, and discuss observations together to avoid confirmation bias. Remember, a well-structured interview process not only helps you find the right fit but also showcases your company's professionalism and values. What are your go-to interview questions?
