What a Company needs to tell about Itself during an Interview (Part III)
Posted by rhapsodysinger on July 8, 2008
A typical interview lasts 5/10 minutes and even then most of the time goes in inanities on the part of the interviewer: will you be willing to work night shifts? We will pay you so much etc. It is best to have a short presentation on the company’s motives/ modus operandi prepared for the employee and when she enters the room ( or when a group) assemble, show them the video/power-point presentation and then have a group discussion, an HR quiz to know what they are thinking after seeing what your company is all about. You can ask questions like: do you think we could do better from the way we function? Is there any way you see yourself implementing these ideas someday with us? Why would you not go to a better company given our small scales? Well, if you caught me lolling, would you tell me honestly or would you let it go?
The questions need to be tailored beforehand and the reactions analyzed by trained counselors. The answers will at least get rid of most of the flotsam jetsam who might enter your company.
We will next talk of what information you need to give your employees about yourself, without saying too much, that will get you the best hands you can possibly want.
