Manager's Interview Guide
A potential hire must not be the only one who has to get ready for an interview. The recruiter must do the same to ensure the right person is hired among all of the applicants. Recruiters sometimes are too focused on other issues of the day, too pressed for time or lack confidence in their interviewing abilities to pay attention to red flags candidates exhibit during the interview process.

Be prepared for each interview by reviewing their resume which will let you know if the person is qualified for the job but it will also help you tailor your interview to ask the right questions of the applicant. For example, do you want the candidate to be innovative and go beyond the job requirements? You need to have a clear idea of what you expect out of your potential employee in order to pick the right candidate. Also, you want to learn as much as you can from the applicant so their comfort will enable him/her to express themselves properly. Even though you should tailor to each interview based on the candidate, it is critical to follow a clear set of guidelines during the interview process to decrease confirmation bias, in which snap judgments are made when making hiring decisions. Despite the recruiter’s best intentions, their innate set of beliefs can affect the outcome of the interview.
