Preparation is one of the most crucial things to do in conducting a job interview. By doing it perfectly, recruiters will surely be able to search the best candidate that can fit in their company's vacant position within the least of time.
Here is a list of dos and don'ts that recruiters must consider as they prepare in conducting their company's job interview:
Don'ts
Don't talk too much
Talking too much during an interview will never create a healthy and productive communication. According to Saylers Employment, "If the interviewer talks too much then several things happen: the interviewer does not gather enough information to make an informed decision about the applicant, the applicant feels that the interviewer may not be that interested in them or their application, and the process cannot be used to adequately compare the skills and abilities of all the applicants being considered." That's why refrain from talking too much. Always take more time to listen.
Don't rely on first impressions
"Impressions do last, however they can more than often be incorrect," according to the business website, Jobs. That's why it's important not to just rely on first impressions in making decisions in the end of a job interview. Remember, every person has personality and depth that needs more than one meeting to fully identify and understand.
Do's
Manage stress
Job interviews can cause stress. And once it becomes overwhelming and constant, it can possibly disrupt the recruiter's capacity to think creatively and clearly, as stated in the online organization, the Help Guide. Recruiters experiencing stress may be unable to act professional which can lead to the failure of the process. So stay calm. Don't waste all the things that have been invested in order for the hiring process to be a success.
Take notes
It can be very confusing for an interviewer to remember all the information that his or her candidates provide during an interview. That's why it's important to take notes. By doing so, it would be much easier for the interviewer to recall the important details during the interview. Also, with these notes at hand, comparing and ranking the candidates at the end of the process will now be stress-free.
Recruiters must never forget to lead their job interviewing process with integrity and transparency. Use these tips in order to conduct the process with straightforwardness and professionalism that will ensure the best outcome.
