Mark Zweig’s Tips for Recruitment Success
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Questions you should be asking during the interview
process - (Hint, focus on candidates qualifications.)
• Tell me about your biggest success to date or
in the last X years?
• Tell me about your biggest failure to date or
in the last X years, what did you learn from it?
• Discuss the kinds of challenges that they
would face in this role and ask them how they
would handle it?
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Questions you should be asking during the interview
process - (Hint, focus on candidates qualifications.)
• Based on our job description what do you
think you will have the most fun doing?
• Based on our job description what do you
think will be your biggest challenge?
• What are one or two things that you’ve
done in the recent past that has prepared
you the most for this job?
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Questions NOT to ask during the
Interview Process.
• What’s your background?
• What’s your biggest weakness?
• What’s your salary history?
• Do you think you can handle this workload?
• If we offered you the job would you accept it?
• Why do you want to leave your present firm?
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Illegal Questions NOT to ask during
the Interview Process.
• What is your religious affiliation?
• Are you pregnant?
• What is your political affiliation?
• What is your race, color or ethnicity?
• How old are you?
• Are you disabled?
• Are you married?
• Do you have children or plan to?
• Are you in debt?
• Do you socially drink or smoke?
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Be very careful about how you ask certain
questions during the Interview Process.
Where do you live? Sounds simple
enough but asking a candidate where
they live is illegal because it could be
interpreted as a way to discriminate
based on their location. A better way to
phrase the questions is to ask them if
they are willing to relocate?
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Be very careful about how you ask certain
questions during the Interview Process.
What was the nature of your military
discharge? Asking why a military
veteran was discharged is illegal.
However, employers can ask what type
of education, training or work
experience a candidate received while
in the military.
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Be very careful about how you ask certain
questions during the Interview Process.
Are you a U.S. citizen? While you can
ask if a candidate is legally eligible for
employment in the U.S., it’s illegal to ask
about citizenship or national origin.

Things to do back at the office…
Know Your Numbers
1. Go over all of your numbers and find a format to keep
track of them; Excel, SalesForce, Jibe, Taleo.
2. Develop a monthly reporting mechanism to help you keep
track of recruiting. Determine the frequency of other KPI
reports (Monthly, Quarterly, Annually)

Interviewing, Hiring, and Team Performance Management.

The Offer Stage

The majority of firms (47%) say it takes 30-60 days on
average to hire a candidate after making them an offer.
- 2016 Zweig Group Recruitment & Retention Survey
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Mark Zweig’s Tips for Recruitment Success
1. Write a good offer.
2. Don’t give the candidate forever to make
their decision.
3. Ask the candidate how he/she will
respond to a counteroffer, should one be
made (and it probably will be!).
©	Zweig	Group 2016
Mark Zweig’s Tips for Recruitment Success
4. If the candidate tells you they’ll accept
but want to wait until they turn their
notice in to their boss, discourage that.
5. Always get a backup candidate.
6. If someone turns down your job offer,
ask them why.
©	Zweig	Group 2016
