Most employers conduct preliminary interviews to vet selected applicants and ensure their skills are a strong enough match for the role. If an organisation is outsourcing recruiting to an agency, then an external recruiter will take over the initial screening interviews. These initial screening interviews are kept short, generally a 15-20 minute phone interview or via a video conferencing tool. Screening interviews aim to narrow down which candidates to invite to the official first interview round. Therefore, typical screening interview questions will be relatively general, straight-forward, and aimed at assessing a candidate’s hard skills and work experience. What practical experience and skills do they have to potentially perform the job? At this stage of the interview process, you shouldn’t focus too much on cultural fit and culture add yet. Rather, consider it as finding out if the candidate “on paper” meets the requirements of the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. How would you describe yourself? What makes you unique? Why do you want to work here? What interests you about this role? What motivates you? What are you passionate about? Why are you leaving your current job? What are your greatest strengths? What are your greatest weaknesses? What are your goals for the future? Where do you see yourself in five years? Can you tell me about a difficult work situation and how you overcame it? What is your salary range expectation? Why should we hire you? Do you have any questions?
