Engagement begins before a candidate is offered a job. Whole books have been written, and websites created, around telling job candidates what questions they can expect when they attend a job interview.
This is only possible because interview questions are predictable, because most interviewers ask very similar questions to everyone else in the same position.
The best interview questions are ones that the candidate could not have been expecting. These are not questions designed to “catch the candidate out”, but they are meant to be challenging. This is to ensure that the candidate answers truthfully and has to think on his/her feet. Moreover, you will find that your ideal candidate will enjoy being asked questions like these.
On request, Aspire Academy will send a list of searching questions that can be asked, along with how to respond to the answers given. The purpose of this document is to maximise your chances of identifying the candidate whose attitudes and values match those of your organisation. A digital copy of ‘Guide to Master Interview’ can be sent via email on request.
