Effective Job Interviews
This session, led by WOW Recruitment Co-Founder Emily McLeod, focuses on improving recruitment through effective interviewing techniques. Emphasizing the importance of a positive candidate experience, the session highlights that the structure of an interview significantly impacts this experience. Key strategies include setting a welcoming tone from the interview's start, engaging openly with candidates to build rapport, and effectively communicating the interview's purpose and structure. Recruiters are encouraged to ensure the candidate speaks predominantly, allowing thorough presentation of their experience, while recruiters should listen attentively and ask clear, open-ended questions without leading. Post-interview, recruiters must maintain communication to manage candidate expectations effectively, a crucial step often overlooked in the recruitment process. Overall, the session underscores continuous improvement through practice, feedback, and adherence to structured, candidate-friendly interviewing strategies.
