How To Become A Good Interviewer To Get The Results That You Want

I’m sharing tips and tricks on how to become a good interviewer and get the results you're looking for. Not only does a solid interview help you make the right hire for your business, but it also helps the candidate see what it'll be like to work for you and determine if they can see themselves thriving in that environment. It gives people a peek inside your company culture and sets behavioral standards. I have five main tips for how to become a better interviewer, keep the conversation on track, and organize your interview process. I dig into why interviewing well matters and share what I’ve learned from the thousands of hires that I’ve made over the course of my career. 

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • Why it’s important to build up your emotional intelligence skills for interviewing 
  • Being aware of your body language and facial expressions during an interview 
  • Examples of effective follow-up questions 
  • What to do when you feel stuck or don’t like the direction the interview is going in 
  • How to create a simple applicant tracking system

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
