INTERVIEW GUIDES

Chally encourages clients to consider balanced multi-phase systems for the most effective candidate selection results. We recommend the "30-30-30-10 Rule" be followed. Thirty percent of a final selection should be based on test results, 30% on background information and reference checks, 30% based on interview results and the final 10% on perceived fit with the company’s culture.

To assist clients in implementing a structured, scorable interview process, Chally builds tailored interview guideline manuals that include:

  • The basic methodology to conduct effective interviews
  • The relevant questions to ask for a given position
  • A guide to score answers

In addition, Chally can provide training for hiring personnel, such as managers and Human Resources staff, at the client's site.
