Before reviewing a resume, before speaking to a candidate, get clear on your objective. When reviewing resumes, get conscious about the judgments you are making based on the resume. An interview is about eliciting information NOT affirming judgments. Remember these qualities are your assumptions. Think about what questions you can ask to confirm them.
Interviews are stressful, so start the interview by helping the candidate to relax.
A welcoming approach and brief small talk will help establish rapport and ease tension. You elicit information from a candidate more effectively if you help them feel comfortable. Outline for the candidate what the interview is meant to accomplish. Do not describe the job in detail. State why the candidate is interviewing and what kind of information you want from the candidate.
