Recruitment Interview Techniques Training Film
Introducing the Interview (2 mins 09 secs)
This scene shows a Chair welcoming a candidate to a formal panel interview. How to introduce the panel members, the interview structure, set the candidate at ease and the initial opening question to get the candidate relaxed are covered.
Probing – the Action in Star (1) (4 mins 41 secs)
The key to being a skilful recruiter is to be able to use probing questioning techniques to enable you to gather evidence of what a candidate has done. This scene shows interviewers using excellent active listening and probing questions to gain behavioural evidence.
Probing – the Action in Star (2) (2 mins 55 secs)
This scene shows interviewers using excellent active listening and probing questions to gain behavioural evidence.
When it goes wrong (4 mins 16 secs)
All interviewers, no matter how experienced they are, make mistakes and ask the wrong type of question. This scene shows interviewers how to rescue hypothetical questions by asking a behavioural question. Learners will see the interviewers acting as a team and the difference between generalised responses and behavioural evidence.
Coaching to Improve (2 mins 02 secs)
Interviewing requires mastering many skills, including active listening, questioning, good body language, effective note taking, keeping interviewees to the point and time management. This scenario covers the best practice method of review by the interviewers following the interview. If you want your recruiters to continually assess their competence at interviewing, this gets across the message of supervision and reflective learning.
Note Taking Practise 1 (23 secs)
Note taking is essential because if we don’t make effective notes, we won’t have any evidence to assess. This short scene is one we have used for many years – and well over 75% of attendees on our interviewing skills courses get it wrong!
It will show what accurate note taking is.
Note Taking Practise 2 (3 mins 27 secs)
In this scene, learners will be able to practise taking their own notes to a candidate responding to questions in real time. The discussion will highlight the tips of taking notes, having a note taking format that works for you and accuracy.
Learners will be introduced to the assessment process and have the opportunity to rate the evidence gathered.
Assessing The Evidence – the use of silence (2 mins 35 secs)
It is an easy mistake for an interviewer to make – to not allow enough silence. This scenario, based on a real life interview situation, shows interviewers prepared to allow silence for thinking time.
As well as introducing another skill, your learners will be able to rate the evidence gained from the candidate.
Assessing the Evidence – Being Persistent (4 mins)
The scenario shows excellent awareness of both interviewers that the candidate is generalising. The interviewers work hard to enable the candidate to provide a specific situation.
As well as providing more valuable note taking practise, your learners will be able to rate the evidence gained from the candidate.
Ending the Interview (2 mins 19 secs)
It is important that the interview is ended professionally, as this could be the last opportunity to leave a good impression with a candidate. The candidate must also have the opportunity to ask questions.
In this scene, the panel invites questions and the Chair of the panel responds to a commonly challenging candidate question professionally and assertively. The scenario shows the professional and concise interview ending.
