Most companies say they are very focused on fostering community, but you can’t find the perfect fit by asking the same questions everyone else does. Implementing new interview practices can help find better employees that fulfill the needs of the company and align with the organization’s beliefs.
Asking open-ended questions, making the process collaborative, and talking about the future are all steps towards finding the perfect new hire. It all starts by asking the right questions. The hiring strategy your business uses could be bringing you down, and it could start with the interview itself. Over time, many interviews have steered towards approved lists of questions that are “safe” rather than ones that are unique to the company and/or candidate. This method has the critical drawbacks of being generic, unhelpful, and skewed. Nearly 7 in 10 hiring managers struggle to fill important positions and end up with a bad fit.
The people you hire are the foundation of your business, making it crucial to hire the right team. Ensuring a successful team starts with the interviewing process. Afterall, how can one’s skills or personalities be accurately represented if the interview is generic and unsubstantial?
