Hiring the right people is always tough, especially when you have never hired for a particular position before. It’s always a good idea to have a solid game plan when interviewing. Adding the wrong persons to your team can be extremely painful and wasteful of your organizations resources. Below are great pre-interview items that you should be prepared with in order to conduct the best possible interview.• Familiarize yourself with the duties and requirements of the job you are filling.• Have applicant fill out complete application.• Make sure you can answer general questions about the company and the benefits provided.• Formulate questions that will focus on job-related aspects such as asking about situations that may have occurred in previous positions (see reference form for ideas).• Focus on the essential requirements of the job. • Avoid personal questions unrelated to the essential requirements of the job.• Write down and organize the questions in the order you will be asking them.• Review applicant’s resume and/or application.
