Interview Guide
PEOPLE. PERFORMANCE. PROFITABILITY.




              The purpose of the interview is to learn as much as possible about a candidate
              and determine if they can do the job and will do the job. In order to accomplish
              this, careful preparation is necessary; including a thorough review of the job
              requirements, researching the candidate’s educational background and work
              experience and the selection of the “Team” that will conduct the interview.

              Each member of the interview team should be assigned a specific area(s)
              upon which to focus and they should carefully prepare the range of questions
              they will ask. Questions should be formulated to gain as much information as
              possible about all of the areas shown below. The interviewer not asking the
              questions must listen carefully and be prepared to ask follow up questions at
              the end of each section.

               Interview Tips

                      ‰‰ Ask open ended questions
                      ‰‰ Don’t talk too much
                      ‰‰ Listen carefully and ask clarifying questions
                      ‰‰ Don’t rely on memory - take notes
                      ‰‰ Don’t provide the candidate with the answers
                      ‰‰ Ask behavioral questions and “Peel Back The Onion”

              Keep in mind that there are two important areas to consider in staff selection
              and development. During an interview it is important to ask questions that
              will help you to determine if the candidate is both eligible and suitable for the
              position.

              In general, eligibility assessment focuses on measuring the person’s ability to
              do something whereas suitability focuses on the person’s willingness to do
              something.



                                                                                                              www.peakfocuscoach.com
                                                                                    Peak Focus LLC © 2008-2012 • All rights reserved.

Will your next hire
                                                                                                 be a great hire?
PEOPLE. PERFORMANCE. PROFITABILITY.




              Looking for an extra edge in evaluating your best candidates? What if you could
              dramatically increase the odds that your next hire (or promotion) is not only qualified,
              but is truly suitable for the position? Someone who will fit in with your team and
              consistently do a great job? Someone who will help your company reach extraordinary
              performance?

              It’s not impossible. You just need the right tools. You see, most businesses hire for
              elibility and fire for suitability. Don’t get caught in that trap. It’s expensive and time
              consuming.

              More often than not, it’s hard to really tell how well someone will perform based on
              “resume qualifications” alone. Just because they have the skills doesn’t mean they have
              the drive, the desire to excel, to be part of your team. And, we’ve all been caught off
              guard by the candidate who interviewed really well, and then, once hired, became our
              personal nightmare.

              Well, now you can have an edge - a huge one! - by adding the Harrison Assessment
              into your process. Increase your hiring and promoting success by as much as 80%. Now,
              that’s an edge!

              How valuable would just one of the following be to your business?
                ‰‰ Hire the right people while reducing recruiting and attrition cost.
                ‰‰ Increase team productivity by improving working relationships and leveraging
                   team member strengths.
                ‰‰ Increase effectiveness of coaching, development, and performance management
                   by identifying behavioral traits correlated with specific jobs.
                ‰‰ Improve employee productivity and satisfaction through better employee job fit.
                ‰‰ Improve strategic workforce planning and succession planning by accurately
                   identifying and developing high potential employees.
                ‰‰ Increase effciency of assessment using a single questionairre to create mulltiple
                   reports and applications.

  • 3. Will your next hire be a great hire? PEOPLE. PERFORMANCE. PROFITABILITY. Looking for an extra edge in evaluating your best candidates? What if you could dramatically increase the odds that your next hire (or promotion) is not only qualified, but is truly suitable for the position? Someone who will fit in with your team and consistently do a great job? Someone who will help your company reach extraordinary performance? It’s not impossible. You just need the right tools. You see, most businesses hire for elibility and fire for suitability. Don’t get caught in that trap. It’s expensive and time consuming. More often than not, it’s hard to really tell how well someone will perform based on “resume qualifications” alone. Just because they have the skills doesn’t mean they have the drive, the desire to excel, to be part of your team. And, we’ve all been caught off guard by the candidate who interviewed really well, and then, once hired, became our personal nightmare. Well, now you can have an edge - a huge one! - by adding the Harrison Assessment into your process. Increase your hiring and promoting success by as much as 80%. Now, that’s an edge!
