I don't actually give them the exact questions in the list of things that they're going to say. But we'll talk about the essence of the question and sort of why are they asking it. This is the question that, you know, you're going to be having to talk about ABC topic. And this is why they want to get a better understanding of your ability to do this.

This isn't done to give the candidates the answers, but it allows them to just prepare and put their best foot forward. I have a personal belief that we live in a culture that glorifies fast-paced and on-the-spot decision-making, which is necessary. I realize that, but I think there's also a lot of value and strength in allowing people to process and plan better.

We talk about closing the interview. So I'll ask them to wrap up the interview. Usually they've asked their questions of the client. But before they go, I encourage everybody to sort of say some sort of version of this phrase. Thank them, comment on something that you learned or something that you're grateful for.

And then say some version of, before I go, are there any last minute hesitations, reservations, or concerns you have about my candidacy? I don't want them to say, do you have any last minute questions? It's reservations, hesitations, or concerns. I feel that this is so important because...

they do have something, they'll probably share it with you and you now have an opportunity to address it on the spot. The last thing I want is for the client to say, well, they didn't really talk about their experience doing this, but they never asked. They never got the opportunity to actually share a little bit more about that.

And if it is something that maybe it's a weakness that you do have, you still can address it and maybe find something that is a skill set that's very similar or you're able to sort of just know where they feel that you have something that doesn't meet the needs. And again, it's just an opportunity to address it. Candid information is really, really important.

I think it's a bold question and allows people just some strength at the end to sort of close it up on their terms. Then we will schedule a debrief with the candidate as well. So I want to talk with them ideally an hour after their interview, sometime within that hour or just immediately after that. And so we schedule that for just a 15-minute thing. Hey, your interview's over. Give me a call.

Let's talk about how it went. Questions that I typically ask are logistics, like was everybody on time? Was there any tech issues? How did it go? Things like that. And then I'll ask, tell me very broadly, like how do you feel that it went? And so I'm listening for things like, again, enhanced enthusiasm. Anything that they feel they maybe didn't do so well?

We'll talk about what did they learn from the interview? Were there questions that you told me you wanted to ask? Did you get to ask those? And was there additional information that you were able to hear and learn based on how you're feeling so far? Do you feel like this is a job that you can handle as well as is this something that's going to challenge you enough?

So where do they kind of land with that based on what they learned about the job? How is the synergy with the people that you talk to, especially if this is somebody that they would be reporting to or a peer? And we'll just kind of go through those questions and again, kind of just letting them download on how it went. I asked them about that question, how they closed the interview.
