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 that people make when conducting a pre-screening is that they will oversell the job. The interviewee has already semi- committed to the job by submitting a resume, so focus on actually interviewing.

Tip #4: When faced with a dilemma, most people put together a Pros and Cons List. Do not do this in your interview process, because the one con can be the one quality that will prevent the relationship from working.

Tip #5: Having one person in charge of the interviewing process is necessary, because any interaction provides information about the interviewee. Information will be lost if more than one person is actively interacting with the candidate.
