Opening an interview is the most important part of the interview itself. This sets the tone in which it will unfold. Knowing the best way to start an interview will have a better chance of success.
Steps
Step 1. Establish a relationship. Relationship means creating a relationship based on mutual trust
It is an important point to consider when establishing and maintaining a relationship between the recruiter and the candidate. Often the first moments of the interview are the most important ones. Creating a report can determine the outcome of the interview itself. If the recruiter does not behave honestly, sincerely and persuasively, then the candidate may not share their real opinions.
Step 2. Guide the Candidate.
Explain the purpose, length and nature of the interview and why you chose that candidate. This is useful for establishing a relationship and creates a sense of belonging in the candidate.
Step 3. State the purpose of the interview
By doing this, the candidate will better understand why you chose him.
Step 4. Summarize the reasons for the interview, but don't go into detail
The recruiter should avoid giving too many details, to avoid the candidate being overwhelmed. Summarizing the reasons for the interview, the candidate will have time to rearrange their ideas.
Step 5. Explain how and who defined the topic of the interview
This allows the candidate to understand the process that brought him in front of you and also allows him to understand your path.
Step 6. Talk about how you chose the candidate
By doing so, the interviewee will understand on the basis of which criteria he was deemed suitable for the interview. This also provides the interviewee with a sense of belonging.
Step 7. Make references to your company and location to provide the interviewee with an accurate identity
Step 8. Request a specific timeline
