This document provides tips for interviewers on how to conduct effective interviews. It recommends that interviewers review the candidate's resume before meeting, extend professional courtesies by being on time and offering water, make the interview a two-way conversation by listening more than talking, be flexible if the conversation goes off topic but don't change the direction, don't force constant chatter but allow silence for thinking, pay attention to body language, and be sure to follow up with the candidate about the result.

THE OTHER SIDE
The Internet has a million different interview tips
to offer. But almost all of them are for the interviewee.
We have decided to flip the table around, to ensure that
interviewers know how to conduct an effective interview.

An interview is still a powerful tool in the
hiring process.
Selecting an employee based simply on one
conversation is not an easy task.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS THAT ANY INTERVIEWER
CAN USE FOR A PRODUCTIVE INTERVIEW.

6. #1 REVIEW THE RESUME BEFORE
MEETING THE CANDIDATE

Reviewing the resume before you interview a candidate
gives you enough time to prepare and know what to ask.
Make a note of specific details that you need clarification for.
Learn something about them by checking social media
accounts and professional sites such as LinkedIn.
Be ready to answer questions about the company’s goals
and the benefits for the candidate on joining.

7. #2 EXTEND PROFESSIONAL
COURTESIES

Be on time. It never looks good for the interviewer
to delay the start.
Offer the candidate a glass of water. They are a guest
at your office until they accept a job offer.
So, treat them like one.
Be calm and friendly. It puts the candidate at ease
ensuring a more accurate deduction about their personality.

8. #3 MAKE IT A CONVERSATION,
BUT LISTEN

An interview is a mutual exchange of information. Make
the process feel like a conversation.
It is ideal that the interviewer only talks for 30% of
the time.
Ask a question and wait for the candidate to think
and give you an answer before proceeding to the next one.

9. #4 BE FLEXIBLE

Sometimes, interviews don’t go as planned.
If the conversation takes a turn off topic, go with it.
But do not let such a diversion change the total
direction of the interview.

10. #5 DON’T FORCE CHATTER

Don’t worry if there is silence. You don’t have to fill
the interview with constant chatter.
Use the moments of silence to consider the
candidate’s replies to previous questions instead.
These breaks in the conversation can also give
the candidate time to think of a question
they may have for you.

11. #6 PAY ATTENTION
TO BODY LANGUAGE

Listening is important but you should also learn
to read non-verbal clues.
Such signs can indicate the candidate’s level
of interest and honesty.

12. #7 BE SURE TO FOLLOW UP

Let the candidate know the result by e-mail or phone,
regardless of whether they got the job or not.
This leaves a good impression of your company. A happy
candidate is more likely to refer others to your company.
