So you have written a killer job advert! You are receiving applications and you are ready to start the interview process..

 Here are 3 reasons why you must have a solid interview process!

1.
You will lose applicants if it is not quick and simple to book an interview with you! Try using a calendar system like Calendly to simiplfy the task or outlook calendars works well.

2.
During the 1st interview if you do not ask similar questions to each applicant how can you compare them at evaluation stage? This is especially important if you are planning to allow different people to take the interviews for the same role due to workload. Spend some time thinking of what you want to learn about each applicant by the end of the interview and write down 5 questions you will ask each interviewee.

3.

Use it as an opportunity to sell your business and culture. This is not only the applicants time to show what they can do, it is your time to show the applicant what you can do for them. Ensure you explain to each applicant the daily responsibilities of the role, the good things about working for you and be honest. If there are areas to improve in the team and it is relevat to the role, professionally outline where you would like the team to be! Show them your vision and allow them to see themselves creating that with you.
