Tips For Employers

Put Applicant At Ease

Informality often helps in an interview. Try sitting on the same side of the desk or table with the applicant, or in a conversational manner, face to face.

Check references

About 90% of hiring mistakes could be avoided just by checking references. When calling references, it’s a good idea to prepare a uniform set of questions that you will ask. This will help you to compare the applicants and will ensure that each is treated the same. Remember, you may not ask questions about disabilities or workers compensation as a result of on-the-job injuries.
