HOW TO MAKE YOUR INTERVIEW PROCESS MORE EFFICIENT

Many IT leaders will be hiring throughout the year, and it is vital that they
adapt their hiring strategy and make it more efficient. The best way to execute
a productive interview? Be prepared.

If there is one soft skill that we have all embraced in the last two years, it’s
adaptability. We have all had to adjust and adapt to our personal and
professional lives to make ends meet and hit our goals. Supply and demand are an
issue everywhere and the tech industry is no different. The amount of growth
that is specifically happening in tech staffing is unmatched. Since many of you
are hiring or will be hiring throughout the year it is vital that you know how
to maximize your interview process. The goal of maximizing your interview
process is for it to be efficient, productive, and for you to know quickly if
that candidate can get the job done.




BEING EFFICIENT



Efficiency is key in today’s job market. If you are efficient, you are
productive and if you are productive then you are one step closer to reaching
your deadlines. The best way that IT leaders can execute a productive interview
is to be prepared. Here are four areas to keep in mind before the actual
interview.




 1. Budget. The most important detail to know before you start interviewing is
    what can you afford? When you go shopping you know what you can and can't
    afford therefore you don’t try on or test anything that is out of your
    budget. Make sure to double check the budget that your department was given
    or connect with your supervisor. Once you confirm what your budget is,
    communicate with your staffing firm on what you can afford. There is a
    chance that an expert level consultant exceeds the budget you were given. In
    this case we recommend that you inform your supervisor and request more
    funds to ensure your project is a success.
    
 2. Interview prep. Review the resume prior to the interview and know what
    questions you are going to ask. Once you receive a resume that piques your
    interest, make time on your calendar to take a more in-depth review and
    start jotting down questions that you have for the candidate. This will also
    give you an opportunity to prepare questions that are not already answered
    on the resume. There is nothing worse than wasting time by asking a
    candidate question that is answered right in front of you.
 3. Streamline your hiring process. Keep it to one interview. If you need
    another team member’s perspective, invite them to the interview so you can
    consolidate two interviews into one. If you need several team members to
    help you make the decision, I recommend conducting a panel interview but
    make sure your colleagues have also reviewed the resume beforehand and are
    prepared with questions. Coming prepared and consolidating to one interview
    should solidify your process and keep the interview under 45 minutes.
    
 4. Good fit? Make the decision quickly. Be prepared to make a verbal offer.
    Like the housing industry, high quality talent is getting multiple offers
    and moving off the market quickly. If you know that the consultant is
    equipped to get the job done, then extend them a verbal offer at the end of
    the interview. This shows that you’re moving with urgency and lets the
    candidate know you are serious. Immediately speak to your staffing firm
    after the interview so they can start taking care of the paperwork and
    coordinate the onboarding process.

By taking these steps to maximize your interview process you’re more likely to
get the candidate you want and need for your project. If you continue to use
traditional hiring tactics and do not adapt to our current job market, your
business is less likely to succeed.
