Tips for a successful interviewing process
We will periodically share some of our most successful
interviewing techniques and strategies. Be sure to
check this page before you begin any interview
process.
Tip #1: Shift your perception of the job
description. The job description is for the employer to get ready
for someone else to come on board. It is not intended for the
employee. The job description is the company's way of getting
prepared to bring in someone else's ideas and energy.
Tip #2: The only question that you need to ask
yourself in the phone interview is this: 'How eager is this person
to come in and meet with me?'
Tip #3: First Interview: The biggest mistake
employers make when conducting a pre-screening interview is that
they will oversell the job. Focus on the candidate.
Tip #4: When faced with a dilemma in making a
selection, many times people put together a pros and cons list. Do
not do this in your interview process. No matter how many
pros there are, it is the one con that will sabotage the working
relationship.

"Hiring people is the hardest thing I do in running my
Company and my least favorite task. Beth changed my perspective
when she came in to hire a critical position in my business. The
process was painless, quick and very efficient.
Another benefit of hiring Beth is that I am more likely to
hire earlier for a position knowing that I am not the one doing the
leg-work. What would normally have taken me 2 months to accomplish
was completed in 1 week. From the initial meeting to the hiring of
the candidate Beth kept me informed of where she was in the process
and answered all of my questions. I will never hire someone again
without the involvement of A-list Interiews."
