Interview Tips

Before requesting an interview with a job seeker, make sure that you choose candidates that have taken the time to fully complete their GetHired.com profile, including uploading a resume, video or audio introduction, recommendations and other background information.

Remember that a video interview is similar to an in-person interview. Kick off your relationship with a candidate in the most positive and professional way. Dress professionally, remove clutter, and silence any background noise so the candidate has your undivided attention.

Retain eye contact with candidates by looking at the camera, not at the computer screen, when it is your turn to speak.

Pay attention to a job seeker's facial expressions, body language, and eye contact to get a better sense of who they are as a person and as a potential employee.

Common interview questions include:

• Why should I hire you?
• Why do you want this job?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Encourage the candidate to ask questions. A lack of questions may mean that your candidate is not genuinely interested in working at your company. Questions can reveal a candidate's level of interest while indicating intelligence and knowledge of the industry.
