CHAPTER 9

Structuring Interviews to Support Fit

Most roles require a significant amount of interaction with others, and the lists of key traits for most roles reflect that reality. An employee most likely needs to work effectively with a manager or supervisor and build relationships with peers and may need to work in a team with other employees from different functional areas of the organization. As you interview a candidate, you invariably have to explore the candidate’s underlying relationship-building traits to assess the individual’s ability to work with others in your organization. Structuring the interview process appropriately can help you do this by providing opportunities to observe the candidate’s ability to interact with others under different circumstances.

The strongest candidates for a role almost always have other options. Interviewers need to ensure that the interview process effectively markets the organization and the role. The pains taken to screen candidates for fit come to naught if the best candidates gain a negative impression in the interview process and go elsewhere. As with candidate behaviors, the actions of interviewers can speak louder than words.
