When holding interviews, it’s common to feel as if you’re the one being interviewed. Sometimes our nerves get the best of us, and we talk more than we listen, or we don’t allow ourselves to see the candidate for the person they are presenting themselves to be. So, today, we’re going to dive into some of my best interviewing and onboarding tips and tricks.
In last week’s episode, we discussed how to hire local assistants correctly the first time. Today’s episode builds on that theme, with my interviewing tips and tricks for hiring that sticks.
