Prepare for an interview
Use the briefing to understand the interview’s purpose, candidate context and evidence focus before you begin.
Who can do this
The assigned interviewer and other job team members with access to the interview can view the preparation material allowed by their role.
Before you begin
Open the correct interview and allow enough time to review its purpose and questions. Follow your organization’s rules for candidate information.
Prepare
-
Open the scheduled interview from HireBest.
-
Review the candidate, job, interview purpose and planned questions.
-
Read the briefing as preparation, then return to source information where a detail matters.
-
Confirm that your meeting, microphone and note-taking arrangements are ready.
What happens next
When it is time, enter the interview conductor and follow the structured question flow while listening naturally to the candidate.
Common problems
- The briefing is unavailable: confirm the interview is scheduled and that you are assigned to it.
- Candidate context looks incomplete: review the candidate record and source résumé before the meeting.
- You opened the wrong interview: return to the job and verify the candidate and template.
