1 Choose the right tool

The first step is to select a video conferencing tool that suits your needs and preferences. There are many options available, such as Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, but you should consider factors such as ease of use, reliability, security, features, and cost. You should also test the tool beforehand and make sure you have a stable internet connection, a good camera, a clear microphone, and a suitable background. You should also inform your interviewee about the tool you are using and provide them with any instructions or links they need to join the meeting.

1. Make sure you have a reliable video conferencing. I mostly use Zoom. 2. Test your equipment and internet connection beforehand. 3. Dress professionally and use a clean background. Interviewing is a 2 way street. 4. Know your candidate. Don't start familiarizing with Resume on interview day. 5. Prepare questions in advance, and 6. Be sure to listen actively and engage with the candidate. Most importantly, keep your bias aside and focus on the merits of the candidate in relation to the job needs.

2 Set the agenda

The second step is to plan and communicate the agenda of the interview. You should have a clear purpose and objective for the interview, and a list of questions or topics you want to cover. You should also estimate the duration of the interview and allocate enough time for each section. You should share the agenda with your interviewee in advance and invite them to ask any questions or suggest any changes. This will help you both to prepare and to set expectations for the interview.

3 Build rapport

The third step is to establish a rapport with your interviewee at the beginning of the interview. Rapport is the feeling of mutual understanding, respect, and trust that can enhance communication and cooperation. You can build rapport by greeting your interviewee warmly, introducing yourself and your role, thanking them for their time and interest, and making some small talk. You should also use positive body language, such as smiling, nodding, and maintaining eye contact, and verbal cues, such as active listening, paraphrasing, and affirming, to show your attention and appreciation.

Clearly communicate the interview format, duration, and expectations to the candidate. Begin with a brief introduction to create a personal connection. Share information about the company culture and values. Practice active listening to fully understand the candidate’s responses and allow pauses for the candidate to gather their thoughts.

4 Ask open-ended questions

The fourth step is to ask open-ended questions that allow your interviewee to express their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and experiences in detail. Open-ended questions are those that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no, but require elaboration and explanation. For example, you can ask questions like "What motivated you to apply for this position?", "How do you approach a problem or a challenge?", or "What are some of the skills or competencies you have developed in your previous roles?". Open-ended questions can help you to explore your interviewee's qualifications, personality, and fit for the role, as well as to encourage dialogue and interaction.

Develop a set of well-thought-out interview questions. Structure the interview to cover key competencies and assess cultural fit. For example, you can ask questions like "What motivated you to apply for this position?", "How do you approach a problem or a challenge?", or "What are some of the skills or competencies you have developed in your previous roles?". Allocate time for the candidate to ask questions. Be prepared to provide insights into company culture, team dynamics, and growth opportunities.

5 Provide feedback

The fifth step is to provide feedback to your interviewee throughout the interview. Feedback is the information or response you give to your interviewee based on their answers or performance. Feedback can be positive, negative, or constructive, but it should always be specific, timely, honest, and respectful. You can provide feedback by acknowledging your interviewee's strengths, areas of improvement, achievements, or concerns, and by offering guidance, suggestions, or recommendations. Feedback can help you to reinforce your interviewee's confidence, motivation, and engagement, as well as to clarify any misunderstandings or gaps.

6 Follow up

The sixth and final step is to follow up with your interviewee after the interview. Following up is the act of contacting your interviewee to thank them for their participation, to inform them of the next steps, and to ask for their feedback or questions. You can follow up by sending an email, a message, or a phone call within 24 hours of the interview. Following up can help you to express your appreciation and interest, to maintain communication and rapport, and to evaluate the effectiveness and outcome of the interview.
