10 Questions to ask yourself when interviewing

Here are 10 questions that every interviewer should be asking themselves as they sit across the candidate during the interview process. This is over and above any revelations that have been taken from the candidates CV. In fact these questions may be asked by the interviewer to himself after the interview as part of the decision making process and should be used if you have a panel that interviewed the candidate and a decision needs to be made.

1.    What impact will this candidate make in the company? Can he make a difference?

2.    Do I like him?

3.    Can I see her as a manager in X years’ time?

4.    Does he have the right credentials for the job?

5.    Is she a risk or a bit immature?

6.    Will she (he) get along with her (his) bosses, coworkers, customers, suppliers, clients, and vendors?

7.    Is this her idea of style and will she be wearing these kind of clothes every day?

8.    Does this candidate belong in this company and can you send him with confidence to client meetings?

9.    Is she of good value or should I lower the salary expectation?

10.  How does she measure up against the other individuals that I have interviewed for the position? Do I like him more that the owner’s nephew?
