What Questions to Ask In An Interview
Posted by Susan A. Enns under Sales Recruiting
When interviewing candidates for a sales position, it is important to be prepared. As every candidate is different, if you just let the direction of the meeting go wherever the conversation takes you, it will be like comparing apples to oranges when trying to decide whom to hire. Besides, having a chat about the local sports team will not guarantee you make the right hire. In order to properly compare and evaluate the candidates in an interview, you need to ask the same questions of each and every one, and those questions must be scripted a head of time.
