In the fast-paced worlds of sales and tech, a sharp interview process can make all the difference. Sterlings knows that a top-notch experience isn't just about assessing skills—it's about showcasing your company as the place top talent wants to be. Here’s how to do it right:
Lay it all out: number of rounds, who they'll meet, and what to prepare. Keep candidates in the loop with timelines and feedback—no one likes being left in the dark.
Targeted assessments are crucial to understanding candidates' technical ability for the role, and to demonstrate this they will want to prepare accordingly.?
Communicating the relevant tech stack and what types of questions a candidate might expect, be it experience, competency, or situational questions, will help them showcase their abilities.
Use behavioural questions to dig into values and team fit. Give candidates a glimpse into your culture—this is a two-way street.
Diversity isn’t just a buzzword. A mix of perspectives ensures fair evaluations and shows candidates your commitment to inclusion.
Feedback is gold. Be prompt and specific, whether it's good news or constructive advice. It shows respect and keeps your brand strong.
Every touchpoint counts. Treat candidates like VIPs, and they’ll leave as brand ambassadors—even if they don’t get the job.
A sharp, respectful, and inclusive interview process not only lands top talent but also builds your brand. Keep it clear, focused, and candidate friendly. Your next star hire is just an interview away!
