Recognizing Quality Candidates: My Five Favorite Interview Questions

I often preach that your staff are a key component to your company's success.  I've certainly learned this in my career experience in retail, but I'm confident this is true across other industries as well.  Interviews offer a small window of time to realize a potential candidate's quality.  Great people get snatched up quickly!  Here are my go-to questions for finding a star.

1.  Tell me about our company.
2.  What can you do for us?
3.  How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our company?
4.  What important trends do you see in our industry?
5.  What do you NOT like to do at work?

Seek out answers that show the candidate respected you enough to have prepared for the interview and those who share a passion for what you do.

Happy Hunting!
