INTERVIEWING IDEAS FOR EMPLOYERS

Things not to do:

• Ask leading or opinion-based questions that will provide no real insight into the candidate.
• Rely on gut-feel and first-impressions - it's best to evaluate and interview the candidate properly before making a decision.
• Talk too much. A good candidate expects to have to sell themselve; a good interview ratio is 70 - 80% candidate to 20 - 30% interviewer.
• Discuss salary and package in the first interview.

It is also important to note that it is deemed as discriminatory to question a candidate on the following topics:

• Age
• Race
• Gender
• Religion
• Disability
• Marital Status
• Medical Record
• Criminal Record
• Political Opinion
• Trade Union Affiliation
• Sexual Orientation
• Family Responsibilities
• Pregnancy or possibility of
• Physical or intellectual impairment.
