As a small business owner you want to employ and
select the right people for your business. Having a
good set of staff will attract new customers, grow
your business, and increase profits. All because you
asked the right questions and you found the right
fit. You can start with asking yourself these
questions:
* What are the benefits to hiring this person?
* How can I capture the skills, values and talent
that will be the right fit for my business?
* What are the essential ingredients that will
attract the right staff?
* How will I be able to identify those elements of
teamwork, commitment and enthusiasm that are so
vital to success?
Small business owners can use clever questioning
techniques that will target selecting the right
candidates. You want to be impressed by their
strengths, talents, skills, knowledge and potential.
So how are you going to identify those unique
qualities and gain the value that you want? How are
you going to communicate that value?
10 questions to ask that will certainly provide you
with the information you are looking for:
1. Why do you want to apply for this job?
2. How do you prioritise your work and how do you
stay motivated?
3. How do you handle stress?
4. What are your short and long term goals?
5. What are your strengths?
6. What can you offer us?
7. Please describe where and when you have been a
team player?
8. How do you deal with conflict?
9. How do you organize your work?
10. Tell me about a time when you had to get a job
done in difficult circumstances.
Interviewing is about finding the right candidate
for a position. Proper questions reveal the most
promising candidate for a hiring manager. Before
interviewing, write down the characteristics the
ideal candidate would possess and try to tailor your
questions around those attributes. Also, open ended
questions make applicants create a clearer image of
who they are for the hiring manager.
