Interview guide concepts

What is a "master guide"?

Proselect includes a library of master interview guides. Master guides include job competencies and related interview questions and are a starting point from which to specifically tailor interview guides for any vacancy you are filling. Master interview guides are included for a number of main occupational groups. We have determined the competencies typically needed for success within each group and have provided suggested interview questions you can use to measure these competencies in your applicants.

 

Why should I use master guides?

Using a master guide will lead you to a more accurate decision in selecting the person with the greatest likelihood of success in the job. You will be able to prepare for interviewing quickly and easily and have the confidence that your interviews are of the highest professional quality.

 

How do I use it?

You begin by selecting a guide from the library and downloading it into your word processor. Then, edit the guide to suit your needs. Because master guides are broad in scope, you will want to retain only the most relevant interview questions in order to create a unique guide that is targeted specifically for your vacancy. As you gain experience, you may wish to add new competencies and/or interview questions to the guides you create.

 

What if no appropriate guide is available?

If an appropriate master guide is not available, you will use the "Generic Master Guide" to create a guide for your particular vacancy.
