Recruiting news for Companies and Candidates (By: Sandy Sanderson)
Entry for September 24, 2006


The interview and selection of the right people is essential to the success of every company. However, the process of interview and selection is costly both in terms of time and resources particularly if the wrong decision is reached. It is critical that the right candidate is selected the first time.


Identifying exceptional candidates is difficult because selection is dependent on more than just knowledge of the engineering and technical issues. You need candidates who are creative enough to find innovative solutions to problems, yet analytical enough to work in a team environment. You need someone who is humble enough to be open to suggestions for improvement, but strong enough to stand firm and provide leadership when they are the best person to provide it.


To support your executive team's ability to interview a practical interview and skills workshop can provide individuals with guidance and techniques essential to conducting a successful selection process. Companies that use “best practices” in interviewing and that are extremely effective in consistently hiring top performers, use customized or standard behavioral-based interview guides with interview questions to remain consistent in their line of questioning.

These companies train their executives, department managers, and hiring managers on legal and effective interview questions and techniques to utilize during the interview.


The focus of an Interview skills Workshop is to equip your staff to ‘hire for talent’. The Meridian offered Workshop includes key process recommendations, documents needed in an effective interview, and commentaries providing information on the interview process.

The goal is to enhance your company’s ability to build your staff using a quality interview process. We are looking forward to hearing from you about your interview training needs.
