Different types of interview formats
There are a number of interview types that you can use for all stages of the process. Each one serves a different function. Some test for hard skills, others for soft skills, and there are some that can test for both. Here we look at some of the most common formats in more detail.
Creating a positive interview experience
The interview experience shapes how a candidate feels about your company and influences their decision to join your organisation. And while there is no one correct interview process, there are a number of ways to ensure a good candidate experience, which are covered in this guide.
Common interview questions & ways to get great answers
From behavioural questions to more direct enquiries into a candidate’s education and experience, there are common interview questions that most interviewers ask. But, within this piece, find out alternative ways to ask these questions, which will help you move candidates away from rehearsed answers, and towards the answers that give you a true insight into the person in front of you.
Interview questions for in-demand roles
The right interview questions can help you decide how well a candidate’s skills and personality align with your needs and company culture. And whether you’re hiring for customer services, project manager, sales, business analyst, or data scientist roles—some of the most searched for roles — discover the questions you should ask, and the answers you really want to hear.
Interview questions for every level of seniority
The seniority of a role will also have an impact on what you choose to ask. That’s because your expectations in terms of both hard and soft skills will be vastly different for a junior hire in comparison to a senior director. Discover the questions you could ask to ensure you are getting the best out of your candidates whether they are just starting out in their career or looking to progress to a senior position.
Interviewing for the most in-demand soft skills
92% of talent professionals say soft skills matter more than hard skills and yet only 41% of companies have a formal process to assess soft skills. Find out how you can ensure that your interview process is set to uncover these skills from candidates.
