The job ad has been prepared, the recruitment strategy has been implemented and you have screened all resumes, the next step is to get ready for the selection process. In this assignment you will prepare the interview plan, conduct interviews, and make a final decision.
Assignment
- ♣ Develop an interview plan: at a minimum, include the sequence of interview events. Remember an interview has a ‘beginning’, ’middle’ and ‘end/closure’. What will you say and do at each phase of the interview? Develop a set of six (6) competencies (hint: there are 3 levels; and you should have at least one for each); a Behaviour Descriptive Interview (BDI) style question for each competency (with sample probes and elaborations for each question); and a Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) scoring/rating sheet for each question.
- ♣ After completing the above, conduct a face-to-face interview using the interview questions developed (do this as a role play with a friend or co-worker). Record/transcribe the applicant’s responses to the interview questions, and rate each of them using the appropriate BARS set. The transcribed responses from the interview should be included as an Appendix.
- ♣ Prepare at a minimum a one-page double spaced report covering the Hiring Decision: What decision did you make based on the interview and why? Make sure you explain the reasons for your decision, and remember to be consistent in your selection criteria and methods.
