E27: How to Review Skills-fit Before the First Interview

Before we interview a job applicant, we want to test 2 things:

 

Are they a good fit for our organization?

Do they have the key skills we need in this role?

 

Looking at CVs is a terrible way of finding this out. 

 

CVs and resumes:

 

Don’t give us the information we need

Don’t allow us fairly compare candidates

Take too long to review!

 

So we start the process by asking our candidates simple questions.

 

We start by seeing if they’re likely to be a good fit for our organization.

 

And if they are… we then look at whether they have the key skills we need.

 

The way we do this leads to a great experience for both our team and the people applying for jobs.

 

In today’s episode of De-stress Your Business, we dive deep into the second step: Using simple questions to review skills-fit.
