I've shared an Interview Template resource with Sharebird that provides the type of questions I use during my interview process.

Regarding helpful resources, I believe that the job description for the role is the most important resource you can use when writing questions for the interview process. Without a clear understanding of the role, you set yourself and your candidates up for failure during the interview process.

Then, as a hiring manager:

  • You can work with your Human Resources (HR), Talent Acquisition (TA) or outsourced recruiting partners to share required experience/questions that should be used for initial screening.

    • I've leaned on this point a lot with hiring. I focus on a few "non-negotiables" for a particular role to ensure that I speak with qualified candidates. I may provide specific questions and responses or, more frequently, qualifying questions that I would ask and the type of response I'm looking for (example: If someone can't give you an example of when they've had to tell someone "no", please don't move them forward).

  • You have a baseline to compare candidates against to try to minimize unconscious bias in the hiring process. (Here is a great book to help understand unconscious bias)

And, as a cross-functional partner:

  • You can see the expectations of the role, which can help you develop questions for the candidate and ask support questions of the hiring manager.

  • You have a baseline to compare candidates against to try to minimize unconscious bias in the hiring process. (Here is a great book to help understand unconscious bias)
