How to Conduct a Brilliant Interview in 60 Minutes or Less

There’s a formula for conducting a great interviews and it’s called planning!  Here’s a quick video which explains how you can make a great impression yet still be able to conduct first interviews in less than an hour

• 15 Minutes: Small talk and ‘chemistry’, Set the agenda, The company, role and opportunity (see How Not to Lose the Best Candidates)
• 30 minutes: Competency Interview
• 5 Minutes: Q&A
• 5 Minutes: Where we go from here. Close.
• 5 Minutes: Notes and prepare for the next candidate
