CBSL featured in the Financial Times
Jon Wood, managing director of CBSL People Limited, has recently been featured in the Financial Times “Asks the experts” feature on recruitment. As part of the CBSL Group, Jon Wood and his team provide clients with HR services focusing on interview solutions and team evaluation.
The Financial Times quotes Jon Wood as saying, “The key is to know what you are looking for. If you do not, when you interview your shortlist of applicants, you will have 10 different conversations with 10 different people. Then, when you take someone on, that person will be disappointed because the job was not the one talked about at the interview.
“A lot of people get into trouble because they don’t know why they are doing the interview. They feel that the decision should be based on gut feel and chemistry.
“You need to prepare five or six key questions that are relevant to the role, including an objective question about what the person has done in the past. You need to have some method of scoring the candidates’ answers so you can benchmark them. Finally, and most importantly, get references – ideally, a telephone reference from the candidate’s line manager.”
