Interview Skills

THEMES

• The skills and attributes of great interviewers you've seen
• The importance of preparation
• Structuring the meeting without stifling it
• Setting people at their ease and building quick rapport
• Managing stereotypical judgements
• Controlling the meeting from the off
• Questioning - great techniques and traps to avoid
• Criteria questions - getting to the heart of the matter
• Listening and understanding
• Selling the role
• Clearing up and closing

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN DO AS A RESULT

• Recognise the importance of preparation and know what they need to prepare each time
• Be able to structure the meeting to keep control and stay on track
• Get the best out of all the candidates they meet
• Ask the right question at the right time to elicit the information they are looking for
• Be able to put the candidate under pressure where relevant to get to the truth and assess whether an individual has the right level of experience and skill
• Make decisions based on the responses to their questions rather than their own intuitions or subjective perceptions
• Sell the company and role increasing the chances of offers being accepted and all candidates telling their friends (and future candidates) about the great experience they had
