Fundamentals
The first stage of the interview process is to reduce your list of candidates. Review applications / resumes to see who meets the basic requirements for each position you is offering. These requirements can be based on presentation, certifications, experience and education.
Once you have selected the candidates most likely based on their curriculum vitae resume / application, you must invite each of you meet and interview one-on-one. Interviews should take place in a quiet and secluded, away from customers, other employees, and preferably at a time when business is light.
Preparation Interview

First Impressions

• This person arrived on time?
• Is this person dressed properly?
° (if the company's image-oriented) I feel good knowing that this person is my business?
The interview
· Questions expected to be open. Refrain from asking questions that lead to a yes / no. Ask open questions to get the candidate to talk. A general rule is that the interviewer should talk about 30% and the candidate must speak for 70% of the time.
· Questions should be neutral as possible. Avoid wording that might influence responses, namely the trial, the writing evocative. Try to remain as neutral as possible. It is, show strong emotional reactions to their responses.
· Ask questions one at a time to keep the candidate they feel as they are "caught on fire crossed. "
• In case of questions are formulated clearly.
· Be sure to ask "why." These questions may cause respondents to the defense, ie, they must justify their response, which may inhibit their responses to current and future issues.
• Encourage responses with positive body language, nodding from time to time, constant eye contact and short verbal statements.
• Take notes, but be careful how you look at taking notes. If you jump off a ticket, you can look if you're surprised or very satisfied with the response, which may influence the answers to the questions coming. Notes should be made on a sheet of paper, not the actual application or resume.
• Do not lose control of the interview. This can happen when respondents turn to another topic as long to answer a question that time is running out, or start asking questions research (which should be recorded to end of the interview).
• Each employer interviewing a unique style and format is up to you and questions that work for your own personality. If you feel comfortable with the interview, the candidate will relax and be more likely to generate natural and honest answers for them.
