Two Interviewing Techniques That Help You Really Get to Know Candidates
During interviews, candidates often offer practiced responses.
Try taking a few risks to help you probe past their canned answers.
On-the-spot interview coaching is a simple way to get your candidate to open up and answer your questions more thoroughly. Give the person a coaching directive, such as “Can you please answer the same question by telling me a story with an arc?”
This strategy enables you to assess whether the candidate is receptive to feedback and whether they can integrate that feedback into the rest of the interview.
If you want to change the environment of the interview and understand a candidate’s social capability in high-stress situations, try group interviews, which naturally create scenarios that strain social dynamics. This will help you determine who stands out as a natural leader.
These techniques will ensure that you find stronger employees who are well-suited for your company.
在面試的時候，候選人常常會用事先演練過的答案來回答你。
試着冒點險就能幫助你識破他們事先準備好的答案。
現場面試輔導就是一個簡單的`方法，可以讓你的候選人更詳盡具體地開口回答你的提問。給面試者一個輔導指令，例如“麻煩你用講故事的方式重新回答一下同樣的問題。”
這個策略可以讓你評估候選人的反饋是否可以接受，以及這些回答是否能跟面試中的其他部分相一致。
如果你想改變面試的環境，瞭解候選人在高壓力情境下的社交能力，可以試試羣面，這種面試很自然地創造了限制社交動力的場景。這樣可以讓你確定誰會是一個突出的天生的領導者。
這些技巧可以讓你找到與公司非常吻合的優秀員工。
