The document provides guidance for conducting effective interviews. It outlines key steps interviewers should take which include: (1) preparing questions and an interview outline in advance; (2) reviewing applicant materials beforehand so the interview is not used for that purpose; and (3) ensuring the interview location is comfortable, private and distraction-free. It also advises interviewers to see the process from the applicant's perspective and be prepared to discuss the role and company. Interviews should begin on time out of respect for applicants.
