Skills 360 – Advanced Interview Skills for Effective Hiring (2)

This monologue podcast episode focuses on advanced interviewing techniques for hiring the right employees. The host, Tim Simmons, emphasizes the importance of assessing candidates' critical thinking skills using scenario-based questions, rather than relying solely on qualifications. He suggests tailoring questions to specific job challenges and workplace environments, advising interviewers to inquire about how candidates handle pressure and adapt to various work setups (e.g., open office, hybrid). Finally, he recommends exploring candidates' long-term career aspirations to ensure alignment with the company's goals and reduce employee turnover. For example, the podcast suggests asking candidates how they would approach a new marketing campaign with a limited budget to assess their critical thinking.
