What techniques can you employ to be sure you're interviewing effectively? In this course, expert recruiter Barbara Bruno highlights practical strategies for approaching and executing job interviews. Barbara explains how to determine the purpose of the interview, set interview expectations up front for both your candidates and the hiring manager, and ask meaningful, creative questions. She also shows how to conduct different types of interviews—including screening, general, and panel interviews—and shares when, why, and how to effectively keep in touch with candidates after the interview.
