Back to EpisodesEpisode 206: What to Ask in Every Job Interview (And What the Answers Tell You)
Description
What does it actually look like to run a job interview that tells you whether someone is the right fit for your firm — before you make a decision you can't easily undo?
In this episode, Dani and Kristy break down the questions that go beyond the resume and what the answers actually reveal about a candidate, so you can walk into every interview with a clear process and walk out with the information you need to hire with confidence.
You'll learn:
✅ Why a 5-minute pre-screen call can save you hours in your hiring process
✅ The questions to ask at every stage — and what to listen for in the answers
✅ How to handle the salary conversation without derailing the process
✅ What a candidate's answer about leaving their last role actually tells you
✅ Why each role requires a different type of person — and how your questions should reflect that
✅ How to involve your team lead in the interview without overcomplicating it
✅ The remote work questions most firm owners skip — and why they matter
If you've ever walked out of an interview feeling confident about a candidate and then regretted the hire weeks later, this episode will change the way you approach your hiring process — and the questions you ask in it.
