The top 8 things to think about before you conduct an interview

At Vanilla, we continually strive to offer insights and solutions that extend beyond the recruitment process, aiming to foster enduring success and growth for our clients. We would like to share some valuable information and top tips to help shape the way you attract top jobseekers and, ultimately to help you employ the very best candidates: How to strengthen your interview process.

The importance of attracting the right candidate for your role

With the candidate-driven recruitment market we are in, applicants for jobs are not plentiful. Several years ago, interviews were quite a hostile environment, with the business in the driving seat and the applicant feeling quite inferior.

Now, however, applicants are less likely to be interviewing for just your job role. They might have 4, 5 or more different companies vying for their attention. This means that as an employer, you will be in a competitive environment as much as they are. And how you handle it will massively impact on the result.

Effective strategies to attract the very best candidates

Recruiting can be costly, especially if you get it wrong, and there are several things to think about before you conduct an interview, so you can get the best result at the end of it. With so much at risk and so many challenges and with job seekers having more and more options at their disposal, what you don’t want to do is miss out on hiring the best candidate because of something you could have done better. In this competitive, candidate-driven recruitment market, the little things are making a massive difference.
