In this article we explore how Interview Coordinator can help interviewers to prepare for candidate interviews and show how better preparation can make the interview process more efficient and revealing.
Easily review all the opinions formed so far ….
Interview Coordinator allows all campaign contributors to effortlessly record their opinions of a candidate at every stage of the recruitment process. You can record an opinion after reading the candidate CV. Record another after researching the candidate on social media and another after reviewing the candidate answers to online questions, etc etc.
Once you get to the interview stage, you can easily keep track of how your opinions, and those of your colleagues, have progressed at each stage of the recruitment process. The notes and opinions that you and your colleagues have added will help you focus on perceived areas of candidate weakness (or strengths) during the interview.
Save interview time by asking the candidate to answer some of your questions on-line ….
Using Interview Coordinator, you can configure your website to ask candidates specific questions as part of the application process. You can also ask more detailed online questions by sending a set of pre-interview follow-up questions. And you can ask the candidate to respond to any of these questions by submitting a video.
When it comes to the face-to-face interview stage, the more information you know about the candidate the better. Asking online questions, either during the application process, or as part of the screening process will not only make better shortlist selection decisions, but you will also save interviewing time.
The answers given to online questions will allow you to make interviews more productive and revealing. Which, in turn, will help you make better hiring decisions.
Collaborate with colleagues to help make better hiring decisions …..
Interview Coordinator makes it easy and economical to collaborate with colleagues. We do not charge by the user, which means you can give everyone involved in the recruitment process access to the software at no extra charge.
For example : use the software to make a list of campaign contributors who might help you make a good hiring decision. Send them an email asking what questions they would ask if they were to conduct the interview. Interview Coordinator will coordinate all their responses and give you better understanding of what characteristics your colleagues would use to judge the best candidate.
Build a comprehensive interview questions database.
No need to re-invent the wheel for each campaign. If it’s possible to review the questions that helped others make good hiring decisions, then why not re-use those questions for your campaign.
For each recruitment campaign, Interview Coordinator allows contributors to make a list of questions to ask the candidate at each stage of the recruitment process. And each question can be linked with an “attribute”, so before you know it, you will have a quick and simple way of preparing for interviews by searching for questions used in the past for similar job roles, or questions used by others to help judge a specific candidate characteristic.
