In your opinion, what are the most essential qualities of an effective interviewer?

1. Interviewer understand the company real needs.

2.  They ensure that candidates can come prepared.

3. They do more research on the candidate than the candidate does on the company.

4. They make the interview a conversation, not an examination.

5. They bring shy or nervous candidates out of their shells.

6. They wisely go off script.

7. They thoroughly describe the next steps.

 

Average interviewers feel it’s the candidate’s responsibility to be “on.” Skilled interviewers feel it’s their responsibility to get the best from every candidate – even those who at first might seem totally out of their depth.

You learn nothing about the candidate when you’re the one talking. That’s why skilled interviewers make the conversation% candidate,% interviewer – or even less.

Don't make the candidate ask about the next steps. Explain the rest of the process. Explain what you will do, and when you plan to do it. And then actually do it.
