Effective Interviewing Key To Making A Good Hire
| December 3, 2007 |  View for printing |
The ability to conduct an effective interview is a critical skill for all hiring managers. Knowing how to screen for the right candidate will save you the headache of a bad hire and help you assemble an all-star team, says career coach Cynthia Shapiro, author of the book "Corporate Confidential."
The goal of every hiring process is to select a candidate who not only has the appropriate skills but also meshes seamlessly with the company culture. But any manager can tell you: that's not as easy as it sounds.
Job applicants have become increasingly adept at dodging difficult questions and playing to their strengths. Given the fact that most executives aren't trained to interview, it should come as no surprise that few know how to look beyond the surface and spot red flags, Shapiro says.
