Interviewing

Interviewing can be a big waste of time if you don't get what you need from it – for both you and the candidates. It's something every hiring manager eventually has to do, usually learned on the fly. Preparation is critical, to select questions that target the traits and skills needed for success in the position.  And what about after the interview? Do you have a process to share the knowledge gained?  

Giving your managers a suite of guides, templates and sample questions equips them to get the most out of the time they invest in interviewing.  Accompanying those tools with guidelines and a clear process lets you capture, keep and share what's been learned so other managers can benefit from a pre-screened talent pool.

List of Templates in this Kit

What is the Interviewing kit?

The HR Toolkit includes 22 ready-to-assemble HR kits. Each kit provides:

  • A mini crash course for this HR topic. Learn more
  • HR processes. Templates in a kit were created as a family of related Microsoft Word & Excel documents that can connect to and reference each other and make sense as a grouping. They can be used to create end-to-end HR processes for your staff,  managers, and HR. Learn more
