Today, I am going to share something related with the interviews that I always take for my organization.... please read till the end to read about the Happy Ending and How much pleasure I get to see the Happy and Satisfied face of Candidate!!!
Usually I join the meeting at least 5-7 mins prior to scheduled time to showcase the professional skill of punctuality. I always refer it as discussion instead of Interview. To make the candidate comfortable, I first start with the icebreakers questions. Explains my role in my current organization along with more information regarding the opportunities that we have in hand and then start with candidate's introduction.
I always acknowledge with appreciation if the candidate is able to answer the question correctly, this helps in boosting the morale of the candidate.
I plan my interview such a way that I have enough time to cover all aspects of the interview. Also I always try give at least 7-8 mins in the end to the candidate to clarify their doubts or questions that they might have.
During this last 7-8 mins when candidate ask different questions, one question is always there in back of their mind, "Did I clear the interview ?". Even though they can't ask me that question but I can read their mind :) . So after clarifying all their doubts, If the candidate is good and if I have selected them then I simply close the discussion by saying that "All the best for your next steps with <my so and so organization>. HR will get back to you with more details".
You won't believe the immense pleasure that you will see on the candidate's face and that's what make my day to see a Happy and Satisfied Candidate. I have literally seen candidates jumping from inside.
