When you ask specific questions in the interview process plays a key role in the
effectiveness of your hiring process and your speed to hire.

PHONE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Phone Interview Questions are used as an early screening soon after the
application and resume are reviewed to determine if a candidate is a good fit
before moving on to an in-person interview.

PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Preliminary Interview Questions are basic screening questions about salary
expectations and experience typically asked in phone interviews to filter
candidates early in the screening process.

ONE-WAY VIDEO INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

One-way Video Interview Questions are a more effective and efficient way to ask
preliminary questions – allowing recruiters to get the most accurate picture of
candidates while making scheduling and collaboration more convenient.

LIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Live Video Interview Questions are the same types of interview questions to ask
candidates during in-person interviews, however, live video interviews
accommodate long-distance candidates, function as a practical screening for
remote jobs, and facilitate flexible scheduling for busy hiring decision-makers.

IN-PERSON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

In-Person Interview Questions are typically more advanced and allow candidates
to expand on responses and ask follow-up questions to look for deeper insights
that reveal top contenders for job offers.

Situational interview questions reveal the candidate’s problem-solving
abilities, decision-making skills, and how they handle challenging situations.

Behavioral interview questions reveal how the candidate has handled specific
work-related scenarios in the past and how they are likely to respond to similar
situations in the future.

problem-solving, and time management.

TIMING INTERVIEW QUESTIONS TO ASK CANDIDATES

When you ask specific questions in the interview process plays a key role in the
effectiveness of your hiring process and your speed to hire.

Phone Interview Questions are used as an early screening to determine if a
candidate is a good fit before moving on to an in-person interview. This step is
typically completed soon after the application and resume are reviewed.

Preliminary Interview Questions such as “Can you tell me a little bit about
yourself and your experience in the field?”, “What made you interested in this
particular position and company?”, and “What are your salary expectations for
this position?” are typical interview questions to ask candidates in phone
interviews to filter talent early in the screening process.

One-way Video Interview Questions are a more accurate and efficient way to ask
preliminary questions. Having candidates submit video responses to early
screening questions allows recruiters to get a more accurate picture of
candidates before advancing to the next level than phone interviews. They are
more convenient to schedule and review as well.

Live Video Interview Questions are the same types of interview questions to ask
candidates in an in-person interview. Live video interviews make it possible for
virtual interviews to be conducted with long-distance candidates, as a practical
screening for remote jobs, and as a flexible way to schedule interviews around
hiring decision-makers’ busy schedules.

In-Person Interview Questions can be the same types of questions asked in
one-way video and live video interviews. These questions look for deeper
insights that set candidates apart and reveal top contenders for job offers.
Questions are typically more advanced and allow candidates to expand on
responses and ask follow-up questions.
