Just Ask…
Today’s question came from a client who is hiring a new leader. They asked…should we include staff members in the interview process, and if so, what is the best way to do this? After you’ve narrowed your search to the most qualified candidates, it is time to select the right person for the role. Involving staff in the interview process can have benefits if it is done thoughtfully. This is especially beneficial for organizations that prioritize teamwork and comradery. Benefits include building consensus, seeking insight from different managers within the organization, and creating buy-in. It can also help identify red flags early on in the process and ensure you are making a good hiring decision. Begin your search by creating a concise list of key characteristics you want the candidate to possess. For instance, the type of industry experience, leadership qualities, and personality type you want your ideal candidate to possess and write them down. Example: self-starter, effective multi tasker, effective working across all departmental teams, effective supervisory skills. Then draft questions that will allow the candidate to describe their experiences and aptitude in these key areas. Their responses can be rated on a scale 1 to 5 (1 weakest to 5 strongest) after the interview process. Candidates with satisfactory ratings (say 3.5+ should proceed to the next level.)
