Department Resources: Conducting a Successful Employee Selection
Process - 28 Tips for Selection Interviewing    1. Decide on the
overall structure of the interview process.   2. Follow the
process uniformly for all candidates, even those who are from
your own department or otherwise "known" to the interviewer(s).
3. When interviewing in a team, one person should be designated
as the team leader. Interview teams should have three to six
members that may include customer or constituent representatives
and or Employment Service personnel.   4. Interview teams can
also, if desired, be involved in the initial resume screening
phase and any other screening techniques, such as telephone
interviews.   5. You may want to ask candidates to be prepared
to perform a "work sample" test-to operate relevant machinery or
to answer questions on paper.   6. Know what you are looking for
in a candidate before the interview. Especially when conducting
group interviews, decide on your selection criteria up front.
