Ask the Recruiter – “What ARE SOME GREAT QUESTIONS TO ASK INTERVIEWEES?”
People often focus on asking the perfect question to candidates. The perfect question only comes when you know what you are looking for. Top companies clearly define what each interview is evaluating, provides questions to ask and most importantly ensure the interviewer can evaluate the answers to determine if the applicant matches what the company is looking for or not. If you do not have the structure or are just starting to interview, below are five questions to start with:
- How does your experience match up with what we are looking for?
- What is your management style or how do you like to be managed?
- What projects are you most excited about when you think about working here?
- What areas do you feel like you can make the greatest impact here?
- How does our company, this job and our company mission match up with your career goals?
Each question digs into the person, their evaluation of the opportunity and their self-awareness on making an impact. Employers tend to want people who are clear about their goals and contributions so understanding their purpose and goals will help evaluate their long-term viability.
