Tips in interviewing people - open-ended questions

 

Open-ended questions are a great way to know more about the candidate. Let her describe a challenging time she experienced and how she overcame it. Let her talk about a hobby she is passionate about, or a movement she supports. Open questions will lead you to ask more questions, which are deeper, and some of which you may not have thought of beforehand. 

When we interview a candidate, we are essentially only trying to answer two questions, (1) can this person do the job? (2) can I work with this person? Open questions help with getting to know the candidate as a person.
