Interviewing a potential employee is a critical piece of the recruiting process and, if handled correctly, it can be effective.  If not, it can be worthless. And even worse, asking certain questions can be illegal. Here’s what we recommend:

• Know in advance who will be on the interview team and what questions will be asked.
• Use a panel interview where multiple people are interviewing the candidate at the same time.
• Ask the same or similar questions of all candidates.
• Stick to the script – try not to get off track or be influenced by non-work related questions or conversations.
• Most importantly, avoid prohibited interview questions. You can find a list of them here.
