Staff at all levels of foundations are often asked to help participate in the interviewing of candidates for positions. But what are the best questions to ask to determine if someone is right for the job? What types of questions will help interviewers understand if the candidate will be able to do the tasks – and if s/he would be an enjoyable co-worker? And what questions are inappropriate and illegal to ask? We have invited three seasoned HR professionals who oversee recruitments at their respective foundations, and one Program Director, to answer these questions as they present helpful suggestions to staff being asked to interview candidates, and give tips on what has worked best for them and their organizations.
