It's wise to 'work from the written job description during this phase of the interview. Although you'll choose what to reveal in each case, you'll also want all the facts at your disposal. This is a good time to summarize the history and growth of the company. State the firm's reputation, market position and organizational structure as it relates to the candidate's prospective job. Don't oversell or exaggerate the opportunity.
False expectations are a major cause of employee turnover.
As any salesperson will tell you, overselling often kills a deal that otherwise would have worked. It's better to underplay the opportunity during this first meeting. That statement doesn't contradict the advice about showing enthusiasm about the position. Be enthusiastic, but reserve some details of the job to elicit the candidate's further interest and excitement in subsequent Interviews. In this final step, the candidate has the opportunity to ask questions about the prospective job.
