Run an interview
Use the conductor to move through planned questions and gather evidence relevant to the job’s Cipher.
Who can do this
The assigned interviewer can conduct the interview. Access for other hiring-team members depends on the interview and organization settings.
Before you begin
Complete the briefing, confirm any required recording consent and check your microphone and meeting connection.
Conduct the interview
-
Open the conductor and confirm the candidate, job and interview shown.


-
Start the interview only when the conversation is ready to begin.
-
Work through the active question, listening for evidence and using appropriate follow-ups.


-
Move through the plan without treating the question list as a script. Keep the experience conversational and fair.
What happens next
Finish the interview in HireBest so its notes, transcript and analysis can move into the review workflow.
Common problems
- The conductor cannot start: confirm assignment, interview status and required meeting setup.
- A question is not suitable: use professional judgment, stay within the interview purpose and record relevant evidence.
- Recording is not permitted: follow your organization’s process and do not record without the required consent.
