FREE online courses on How to Become A Great Interviewer - How To Use Your
Time Most Effectively
Don't you hate it when you have to hire someone? Interviews
invariably interrupt your daily routine and throw you off schedule. Worse, if
the process gets stretched out over a period of weeks, your recollections of the
first people you interviewed are vague and the best candidate may have taken
another job.
Try this: Block out time -- an afternoon or whole day -- to
conduct initial screening interviews of several candidates. Shut out all
interruptions and limit your interviews to 45 minutes. That way you can make
immediate comparisons and save the lengthy "Cook's Tour" for the one or two
finalists.
