- "We want to get to know the candidate as a person, not just as a set of technical skills. Great candidates are the ones that come in prepared to engage us in conversation, ask us great questions, and are authentic. We have extensive training for employees to learn technical skills, but we cannot teach people to provide genuine heartfelt care to others." --Stephanie Troxel, Director, Diversity & Recruitment of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
- "Follow up with a handwritten note after the interview to the recruiter and also to the hiring manager. This act of gratitude helps candidates stand out in a very positive way." --Megan Groover, director of talent acquisition of WellStar Health System
The interview process is such a critical starting point to a new relationship for it should always be dealt with the highest regard. As the saying goes, "First impressions are the most lasting."
P.S. We'll examine the importance of the first handshake in a subsequent blog.
