Frequently asked questions
What is a structured interview?
A structured interview is one where the interviewer comes prepared with a set of standardized questions that are asked of every candidate for the role. The questions are asked in the same order, with the same follow-up questions and the responses are ranked on the same scale and criteria.
Why is a structured interview important?
Structuring interviews makes it easier for the interviewer to prepare and provides a better experience for the candidate. Deciding the questions in advance makes the process consistent and fair, no matter who's running the interview, and increasing the likelihood of getting all the information the hiring team needs to make the right decision. By standardizing the evaluation process, it's then easier for the hiring team to identify the right candidate for the role.
How to structure an interview?
The first step to creating a structured interview is setting expectations within the hiring team. What general instructions do they need to follow to ensure a great candidate experience and a consistent process for every interview? Then you can work on the actual structure, setting the questions you'll ask every candidate. Finally, make a list of all the skills and traits that the ideal candidate would bring to your company.
What is an Interview Kit?
Teamtailor's Interview Kits help hiring teams create and conduct structured interviews. By gathering general instructions, essential questions, the skills and traits you're looking for, and a candidate scorecard all in one place that's easily accessible by the whole team, you can ensure you're hiring the right candidate while streamlining the hiring process.
How to conduct a structured interview?
You’ve done all your prep, now it’s time to meet the candidate! Begin with a friendly greeting before diving into your prepared questions. Ask them in order, being sure to give the candidate plenty of time to respond thoughtfully to each one. Make sure to listen carefully to their answers and begin to think about how you might grade their response. Once you’ve asked everything in the plan, close the interview and fill out their scorecard while the information is still fresh in your mind. With Teamtailor’s Interview Kit, you can even fill out the scorecard during the interview for immediate and seamless assessment.
