Creative Questions you can ask candidates on interivew to gain insight.

You can make interviews engaging and exciting for both parties. Too many times people make interviews more difficult than necessary. Below is a list of questions to really have a great discovery interview rather than a interagation. What single project or task would you consider your most significant accomplishment in your career to date? To see why this simple question is so powerful, imagine you're the candidate and I've just asked you this question. What accomplishment would you select? Then imagine that over the course of the next 15-20 minutes I asked you the following follow-up questions. How would you respond? •Can you give me a detailed overview of the accomplishment? •Tell me about the company, your title, your position, your role, and the team involved. •What were the actual results achieved? •When did it take place and how long did the project take? •Why were you chosen? •What were the 3-4 biggest challenges you faced and how did you deal with them? •Where did you go the extra mile or take the initiative? •Walk me through the plan, how you managed it, and its measured success. •Describe the environment and resources. •Explain your manager's style and whether you liked it. •What were the technical skills needed to accomplish the objective and how were they used? •What were some of the biggest mistakes you made? •What aspects did you not especially care about and how did you handle them? •Give examples of how you managed and influenced others. •How did you change and grow as a person? •What you would do differently if you could do it again? •What type of formal recognition did your receive?
