Interviewing Tips for the Interviewer
The interview is more than an exercise to match skill sets to job requirements. It is more than a personal “chemistry test.” It is the main tool to help you predict if someone’s skills, experiences and successes in the past are likely to be repeated, even amplified, in your environment. And if it results in a hire, it is the beginning of an important working relationship. It requires preparation and strategy.
