1. Habits of Highly Effective
Interviewers

2. In most of the job search, the bulk of the load of
expectations usually falls on the shoulders of the
candidate. Among hiring managers and HR
personnel, it is often supposed that the applicant is
accountable for the success or failure of the meeting,
and that this performance can be used as the primary
basis for evaluating their fitness for the position.

3.  Interviewers expect candidates to do their homework on the company
before the interview process starts, so try to carve out a few minutes before
the meeting to look over resumes, application materials and other
documentation.
 Develop a general sense of their strengths and weaknesses and experience,
 Make a list of notes about the kind of questions you may ask.
 This groundwork will give more freedom to interact with the applicant
during the meeting.

1. Set Some Pre-Meeting Preparation Time

4.  Avoid boilerplate interview fodder such as, “Tell me about yourself”,
 Instead, try to attach to questions that relate directly to each applicant’s
experience and background,
 Don’t be afraid of pauses and silence – give candidates all the space they
need to answer thoroughly. Use the techniques of active listening, such as
rephrasing and follow-up questions, to delve deeper into candidates’ initial
answers.

2. Ask Good Questions and Be a Good
Listener

5.  Effective interviewers play the role of traffic control during interviews,
making sure that the speed of questions and answers keeps moving forward
smoothly.
 If the candidate frequently veers off-track, offering personal anecdotes and
irrelevant asides, gently turn them back to the topic at hand. Maintain a
steady momentum throughout the meeting.

3. Keep the Meeting on Track

6.  Regardless of how well / feebly – the candidate has performed in the
interview, make an attempt to be friendly, upbeat, and neutral,
 Think of yourself as an representative for your company and conclude the
meeting accordingly,
 Try to resist the advise to comment on the candidate’s performance or
extend a job offer right away; it’s more prudent to give yourself time to
analyze all of the applicants before you make a final decision,
 Be sure to express thanks the candidate for their time, and outline
instructions for the next step in the hiring process before they leave.
