TEXT A
HIRING NEW EMPLOYEES
Interviews are a central part of the recruitment process for most organizations. Usually applicants are interviewed after sending in an application form or CV for a particular position. The purpose of an interview is to give the selector a chance to assess the applicant, and for the applicant to demonstrate abilities and personality. It is also an opportunity for the applicants to make sure that the organization and the position are what they want.
The recruitment process for most organizations is standard - applications are received, either via an online application form, or a postal form or CV. Candidates are shortlisted and invited for interview. The interview format and number of interviews can vary considerably. Some companies are satisfied after just one interview whereas others make a further shortlist of candidates for one or more interviews. If the applicants are successful at the interview stage then they will receive an official letter offering them the job.
Interviewing Job Applicants
The objective of the job interview is to find out as much information as possible about the applicant's work background, especially work habits and skills. The major task is to get the applicants to talk about themselves and about their work habits. The best way to do this is to ask each applicant specific questions:
What did you do on your last job? How did you do it? Why was it done?
The applicants' replies are evaluated and when the interview is over, the applicant is asked to check back later, if that applicant suits for a job. The decision is not made until all the applicants have been interviewed.
Next, the obtained information is verified. A previous employer is usually the best source. Sometimes, a previous employer will give out information over the telephone. But it is usually best to request information in writing and get a written reply.
To help insure a prompt reply, previous employers should be asked a few specific questions about the applicant which can be answered by a yes or no, or with a very short answer.
For example:
1. How long did the employee work for you?
2. Was his or her work poor, average, or excellent?
3. Why did the employee leave your employment?
After the information on all applicants is verified, the selection can be made. The result of this selection is the "Right" employee. The right employee can help make money. The wrong employee will cost much wasted time, materials, and may even drive away customers.
