Successfully identify, attract, offer and onboard the best candidate for your open role.
Interviewing candidates
Interviews are your opportunity to meet face-to-face with candidates that have passed the ProVision pre-screening process. They’re a chance to flesh out the candidate's strengths and weaknesses and, when done successfully, bring out their personality.
Structure
Consider using the interview guides in our toolkit below.
Behavioural Questions
Ask open-ended questions to help the candidate demonstrate their experience and achievements.
Preparation
Refer to your position description and decide on your interview questions in advance.
Active Listening
Listen more than you talk and try to ask follow-up questions that demonstrate your interest in the candidate's responses.
Comfort
Find a place to interview that helps you and your candidate be at ease.
Enjoyment
Relax and enjoy the process of hearing about your potential new team member - this will also help the candidate feel at ease.
Purpose
Share a 'Why Choose Us?' with your candidates and communicate your practice values.
Reference Checking
Prior to making your offer of employment to your preferred candidate, we strongly recommend you conduct two verbal reference checks. Reference checking can help you:
Validate
Validate information provided by the candidate during the interview.
Cultural Fit
Assess cultural fit with prior colleagues to confirm that the candidate is suited to your team.
Elaborate
Expand upon information provided by the candidate.
Address Concerns
Raise any concerns you might have such as prior work history, accomplishments, or behaviours.
Job Related Skills
Discuss work-related skills and knowledge with someone who has previously worked with your candidate.
Confirmation
Ask the necessary questions to confirm whether you wish to proceed with this candidate.
