Today's IT job hunters are often so adept at fielding interview questions, it can be difficult to get a read on whether they'd be a good fit for your organization. Asking some of these questions may give you a glimpse of the person behind that candidate facade.
These days, job candidates typically know how the interview game is played, and they're likely to have a repertoire of rehearsed answers they can provide when asked the standard types of questions. But although that's a practical strategy for job seekers, it can make it tough for you to determine how well a candidate might fit in your organization.
This list of questions is designed to suggest some other avenues you can follow in your conversations with job candidates. Some of them may still elicit a canned response, but others could spark a genuine and useful discussion that gives you a better idea of what makes the person tick. The list includes questions such as:
- What's the toughest thing you've had to do professionally?
- Can you handle telling other people No?
- What have the last few years taught you?
