79.3% of applicants never get an interview.And only 2.5% of candidates make it to the final interview.Moral of the story: make interviews count when you get them!

Interviews are a Two-Way StreetAs candidates, we must remember that interviews are a two-way street. While the company evaluates us, we should also be evaluating them.Without delving into whether current interview processes are broken or not, it’s important to highlight a common issue: many companies don’t have a clear understanding of what they want, which is reflected in their interview processes.I’ve observed that some interviewers assess candidates primarily based on their company’s specific context. While this might be acceptable to some extent, it can sometimes overlook broader or alternative perspectives. It’s beneficial for interviewers to remain open to evaluating candidates in diverse ways.

Interviews - have you shared your interview questions with candidates before their interview? Would it be something that you would consider? Or have you been given interview questions before an interview? I have done lots of reading on providing interview questions to candidates before the interviews and it will be something I will be encouraging the business's I work with to do from now on. #talaentmatch #unlockingpotentail #growthhub

Questions that candidates ask in interviews can vary depending on the role they are interviewing for and the level they are at in their respective careers. However, candidates should refrain from asking too many questions as this will give the impression that they are trying to become the dominating party in the interview.

Are you wondering why you keep losing top candidates after only a few rounds of interviews? According to recent research, time is the most valuable factor in the interview process. In fact, taking too long to complete the interview process is one of the top reasons why companies lose top candidates. To avoid this, consider implementing a few key time management strategies in your interview process. For example, set a 48-hour deadline to review resumes and contact the candidate or agency on next steps. Keep a maximum of 1 week between all interviews, and schedule the next round with your candidate within 24 hours. Additionally, ensure that all interviewer feedback is submitted within 24 hours and extend a verbal offer or provide feedback on why the candidate is not moving forward within 24 hours. It's also important to explain the entire interview process to the candidate on the first call, with consideration for weekends and holidays. By setting solid expectations for candidates and providing a positive candidate experience, even those who don't get the job will walk away with a positive impression. Remember, time is of the essence in the interview process!

I have A question to HRs.Why do you continue to interview candidates when the final decision has already been made? You already know that you will not hire this candidate in 99% of cases. It would be great to notify them on these terms! I understand that in terms of accepting CVs and writing a reply like "We haven't even considered your application at all". But why do you waste the candidates time for interview? These are 1-2 hour interviews!!! And then you receive a reply like "The desicion has already been made at the time of your interview and the hiring manager didn't even look at your resume." WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING SCREENING INTERVIEWS??? WHY????You need a reminder: job search is not a joke for people now!

In our experience, candidates who prepare with a recruiter for their interviews always outperform candidates who prepare on their own. Learn why: https://lnkd.in/g2vTj89m

Which is better, online interviews or face to face interviews for clients and candidates? 👀 In my opinion, there’s room for both in a recruitment process, however, a recent experience showed me the importance of understanding the difference between them to be able to best guide candidates through a recruitment process.I had a candidate meet with one of my clients via Teams, the client loved & offered them the role, however, my candidate did not get the “vibe”. She felt that the interview was a little awkward and that her personality did not mesh well with the Interviewers. Given how much the client loved her, my advice was to go into the office and meet with them face to face. She did, called me straight after and said, “that was so good, they were so easy to talk to and we got along really well”. Fast forward, she accepted the role & starts this week. Moral of the story? Online interviews can be great, they offer both candidates and clients flexibility, however, they don’t always paint the full picture. Body language and environment play a significant role in establishing personal connections, so bare this in mind after your next online interview 😊

“Monday Morning Play Call” - #6: Building Candidate Confidence with a Proactive and Structured Interview Process-Jason Nemoy, PHRThe structure and timeliness of an interview process provides candidates their first “sneak peek” behind an organization’s curtains and sets the stage for their overall first impression. So, when possible, outline and clearly communicate what the interview process will look like with candidates from the get-go. That might include the number of interviews (and interviewers), the types of interviews (phone, video, in-person), when candidates will receive feedback, and if applicable any assessments. Also consider pulling availability from everyone on a consistent basis so that scheduling is done proactively. (Doing so could really help limit the waiting period in between interviews.) Overall, the goal is to create a seamless and hopefully enjoyable experience for candidates, ultimately building confidence in their decision to consider the organization long-term.

We believe in short and effective Interviews...Shortening interview rounds can be advantageous for both candidates and companies. Here's why:Efficiency: Shorter interview rounds save time for both parties. Candidates can attend more interviews, increasing their chances of finding the right job. Similarly, companies can evaluate more candidates efficiently.Candidate Experience: Lengthy interview processes can be exhausting for candidates, leading to a negative experience. Shorter rounds demonstrate respect for candidates' time and make the overall process more pleasant.Cost-Effectiveness: Lengthy interviews consume resources, including time and money spent by both candidates and companies. Shortening the process reduces these costs.Competitive Advantage: Companies with streamlined interview processes attract top talent. Candidates are more likely to accept job offers from companies that demonstrate efficiency and respect for their time.However, it's essential to ensure that the interview process remains thorough enough to evaluate candidates effectively. Balancing efficiency with comprehensive evaluation is key.#interviews #costeffective #candidateexperience
