Summary
Prepare your questions in advance. The worst thing an interviewer can do is to wing it. A list of scripted questions is akin to a meeting agenda; it's there to guide you, keep you on track and make sure you are successful in what you set out to accomplish. Organize a list of questions that will yield the insightful responses you need to make the right hiring decision.
Institute a "buddy system" in the interview room. Have a colleague sit in on the interview as a listener and a note taker, so that you can get their opinion of the candidate as well as feedback on what they think your strengths are in terms of interviewing style and process. If the opportunity presents itself, sit in to observe others' interviews so that you can pick up tips from the way they conduct themselves.Get as much practice as possible. You can't expect to become an expert interviewer overnight, but you can improve with time and especially with practice. Consistently apply what works at every interview you attend and discard any practices that don't help you further your purpose of determining the candidate's fit and motivation.See the full content of this document
