So, you’re going to do some interviewing! Whether you’re an old pro or this is your first time, it’s a good idea to follow consistent interview guidelines and procedures.
Interviews are crucial to the recruiting and hiring process. Regardless of format, the main purpose of any employment interview is to facilitate the exchange of information between interviewer and candidate.
The interview allows the candidate to sell themselves, their skills, and their experience to the interviewer, and allows the interviewer to sell the position, the leaders of the company, and the company’s mission to the candidate.
