Candidate Interview Questions


Does an interview consist only of the interviewer asking questions? No! You will have an opportunity to ask questions. Make sure they are good ones. Following is a list of the Top Five Questions to ask in each type of interview:




Human Resources (HR):

• Can you tell me more about the position and the type of person you are seeking?
• Tell me about an employee in your organization who is considered to be an outstanding employee. What makes that person special?
• What would you consider to be exceptional performance from someone performing in this position in the first 90 days?
• How does my background compare with others you have interviewed?
• I feel my background and experience are a good fit for this position and I am very interested. What is the next step?

Peer Interview:

• Why did you decide to join this company?
• What were your intial expectations? Were they met?
• How have your expectations changed over time?
• What do you consider your company's strengths and weaknesses?
• What can you tell me about working for your manager?

Hiring Manager Interview:

• Can you tell me more about the position and the type of person you are seeking?
• What are the measurements for success within your organization?
• How are you measured as a manager?
• What can I do to make you successful?
• What will be the measurements of my success in this position?
• I feel my background and experience are a good fit for this position and I am very interested. I am ready to consider your best offer!

OK, that last one isn't a question. But if you haven't said it yet, you better say it at the end of the interview!
