He has a few tips for hiring managers including preparing a specific list of questions, remembering to behave in a respectful and unselfish manner, and interviewing candidates with additional staff members.

If you are a hiring manager, do not talk about yourself during an interview. Do not discuss the opportunity offered to the candidate at length either. Instead, allow sufficient time for the candidate to speak and impress you. This tactic gives hiring managers a lot more to go off when making final decisions.

Also, as a hiring manager, you don’t have to interview everyone. Sometimes it’s smarter to delegate interview responsibilities to your team members: the candidate gets a better idea of the office’s atmosphere and your staff gets increased responsibility. Perhaps some candidates will display never-before-seen characteristics because someone new or different is conducting the interview.

Before the interview, prepare a list of questions you plan to ask candidates. This saves time and energy, lending more time and energy to conversation. Questions Michael Delich always asks include “Why are you interested in this particular role?” and “What do you find interesting about the organization?”
