About this webinar:

Join us for an overview of interview best practices. In this webinar, Ben Mead-Harvey will discuss several aspects of the process. Interview question design is the backbone of any successful interview. We will spend significant time on how to create questions that elicit meaningful information from your candidates. We will discuss the concept of bias and describe how it prevents us from making effective hiring decisions. In the back half of the session, we will touch on several other interview design considerations: training the hiring panel, what information to send to candidates in advance, making the hiring decision, and the impact of company culture.
