bill3766

When conducting job interviews, it’s important to ask questions that offer insight into both the candidate’s qualifications and personality, while also ensuring that the questions reflect the values of your company. While traditional questions like “Why should we hire you?” are common, you should focus on a mix of personality, value-based, experience-focused, and industry-specific questions to better assess candidates. Avoid asking questions that could lead to discrimination or bias, and always provide an opportunity for the interviewee to ask their own questions. Click here for article.
