Employers need to find the perfect candidate for a job, and candidates are eager to find a role that matches their career goals and expectations. Unfortunately, all too often, people feel let down and unsatisfied with their new positions because they turn out to be different from what they were sold during the interview process. To avoid such job disappointments, asking the right questions during interviews is essential. We've written this blog to help both employers and candidates understand the importance of asking the right questions and offer a list of inquiries that can assist in making well-informed decisions. https://lnkd.in/e54HP25S #InterviewQuestions #Hiring

Conducting a Job Interview may seem easy at first glance, but its tricky. No interview will eliminate all uncertainties with a new hire; people are unpredictable. But if you ask the right questions, you can learn a lot about a person. Hiring isn’t just about skills or knowledge. It is about promptness, cooperation, a growth mindset and/or performance under pressure. Staying open-ended encourages longer, more-involved responses from a candidate. It encourages the candidate to think, not just answer, giving you a broader picture of who this person is. #hiring #job #growth #interviews #humanresources  #talentacquisition #recruitment

In a world that's fast evolving, isn't it time our interview questions caught up? Let's ditch the clichés and embrace a fresh approach! Stop asking "Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?" Instead, explain to applicants where they can see themselves growing in 5 years time should they join you Stop asking "What is your weakness?" Instead, focus on the gaps within your organisation and explain how you are trying to address them Questions like "Why should we hire you?" should be replaced with a discussion on how the applicant's knowledge and experience can contribute to the organisation's success. Let's ask questions that inspire candidates and let's have meaningful discussions during interviews. Such changes will certainly improve the candidate experience during interviews, with improved chances of positive outcomes. #recruitment #jobs #ElevateYourHiringGame #MakeEveryQuestionCount  

🎤 Sell your company and the opportunity....... Way too often we hear of companies, "grilling candidates" asking them a ton of questions and the candidate comes out of the interview none the wiser of what the company plans are or what their potential role will entail. I personally spend the first half of any first interview, "selling" Discovered. I talk about our back story, our growth to date, our funding, our culture and our plans going forward. I also make sure to include how the person I'm interviewing may fit into our plans. The second half of the interview, I listen, I probe, ask specific questions and get to know the person the best I can. The recruitment process is really a 2 way process and to secure the best talent we need to make sure first impression count and the candidate interview experience is the best we can make it. 🤔 What's your thoughts on 1st interviews, want to the know the good, the bad and the ugly and what companies can do to improve on. #disruptingthefuture #talentacquisition #talentsolutions #interviews #dubaicareers

"I'm sorry this candidate has accepted another position and is no longer available". Many employers would question why if the candidate was so keen on this position? 😕 ✍ Employers, take notes! Extended interview processes often lead to losing potential candidates to other employers who move faster. It is crucial to recognise an interview process is not just a one sided assessment. Great candidates who are actively looking can get snatched up very, very fast! If the hiring journey takes an excessive amount of time ⏳, involving multiple rounds of interviews, frequent pauses, and extensive presentations, you run the risk of lagging behind your competition. 🏃♀️ To secure the best candidates, it's essential to streamline and expedite your hiring procedures. #hiringprocess #competition #recruitmentprocess #toptalent #interviewtips #interviewprocess

DISASTER! So, I interviewed a highly recommended candidate. The interview was a nightmare. She was so nervous she could barely communicate. A deer in the headlight. She BOMBED miserably. Still I couldn't get past my gut feeling she was the best candidate for the job. Is it possible to overlook a poor interview performance? I thought and decided to give her a try and within 9 months, she became one of the top performers. Sometimes it's hard to know a candidate's full potential in a job interview. We shouldn't be too quick to cross someone off who doesn't interview well. The truth is interviews can be nerve-wracking. There is so much more to a person than just passing / failing an interview.
