Interviewing
Interviewing, from the interviewer's side of the table
Question lists are everywhere and most of them are written for the candidate. These are written for the person running the room: what each question is evidence of, what a weak answer sounds like, and what should end the conversation.
- Questions to ask an interviewee Nineteen questions to ask an interviewee, each paired with what the answer tells you and the follow-up that separates a rehearsed story from a real one. Written for the person doing the hiring.
- Interview questions to ask candidates Interview questions to ask candidates at each stage of the loop, what each stage is allowed to settle, who owns which question, and how to stop four interviewers asking the same thing.
- Panel interview How to run a panel interview: who sits in the room, what each seat owns, what each segment settles, what disqualifies a candidate, and how to score it without the loudest person deciding.
- Behavioural interview How to run a behavioural interview as the interviewer: what the format settles, the probes that get past a rehearsed STAR answer, what disqualifies, and a scoring scale a panel can actually use.
- Structured interview How to design a structured interview: the same questions in the same order, anchors written before you meet anybody, independent scoring, and defined kill criteria. For the hiring side of the table.
- Competency-based interview How to run a competency-based interview: choosing four competencies, writing level definitions somebody could observe, assigning each one to a single interviewer, and scoring evidence rather than enthusiasm.
- Reference check Reference check questions that produce evidence, what a strong answer sounds like, what a weak one sounds like, who to ask for, and when in the process to run the call.
- Background verification A background verification process for employers: what to verify, in what order, what a clean result looks like, how to grade an exception before anybody reacts to it, and what verification cannot tell you.
