Questions to ask on job interview as employer: 38 Smart Questions to Ask in a Job Interview

9. How do you respond to staff conflicts?

Another great insight into the organisation’s culture, and a way to show you know that dealing well with conflict is an important part of any high-functioning workplace.

10. Will I have the opportunity to meet my potential manager or colleagues during the interview process?

Brady says asking about the team you’ll be working with is important – so an answer of ‘no’ might be a concern for you.

11. How do you evaluate success in this role?

You’ll get an idea of what it means to do the job well, and whether the organisation’s values align with yours.

12. How is your organisation addressing challenges in this field?

Questions that tackle the problems and challenges specific to a role, or the procedures of the organisation itself, show real initiative, according to Brady. “For example, I love it when a candidate [for a role working with children or families] asks us about our resilience practice framework,” she says.

13. What would you expect me to have achieved after 6 or 12 months in this role?

It’s great to know what the expectations are of you before you start. But it’s also nice to know if the organisation is organised enough to have thought about what they want from a new staff member before they begin interviews.

14. Is this a new position? If not, why did the previous person leave?

While it might be uncomfortable to ask, asking this shows you’re on the ball, and interested in how the organisation works. Knowing if the person in the role before you was fired, promoted or left of their own accord is valuable to know before you dive into the same position.

15. What new initiatives or changes are on the horizon for the organisation?

Change is a constant in most community organisations. Mergers, new funding, funding cuts, new leadership – these are perennial parts of many NFP organisations. It’s good to know just what’s in store for your first months in a new job.

16. Is there anyone else at the organisation you’d like me to meet with?

Gain a better idea of how much the organisation values teamwork and collaboration, as well as potentially determining for how many more interviews in the recruitment process to come.

17. Is there anything else I can do or provide to help you make your decision?

Brady says this is a solid question – “it shows the candidate is switched on,” as well as showing that you’re confident and enthusiastic.

18. Is there anything we haven’t yet covered that you think is important to know about working here?

A sort of ‘catch-all’ question that wraps up the interview nicely, this could answer questions you hadn’t thought to ask.

19. Do you have any hesitations about my qualifications or experience?

Asking this could place you in a vulnerable position – Brady says it also “puts the interviewer on the spot” – but it shows you’re confident enough to discuss and address your weaknesses.

20. What are the next steps in your recruitment process before you can make an offer?

“This is a good ‘next steps’ question – great for a candidate to ask last as it closes up the interview,” Brady says.

——

Finally, there’s the question of how many of these questions to ask. Don’t ask them all!

There’s no perfect number of questions you should ask, but more than one is usually good. Aoife Brady says candidates should always ask at least two or three questions.

And if that’s not enough to really find out all that you want to know, just check with the interviewer and they should be happy to tell you how many questions they have time to answer.

13 Great Interview Questions to Ask a Hiring Manager

Add these questions to your interview checklist.

Whether you’re looking for your first job or are a seasoned professional, a positive impression during the interview is key to getting an offer.

When you ask a hiring manager insightful and good questions during a job interview, it’s a great way for you to demonstrate your professionalism, thoughtfulness, and commitment. Unfortunately, many candidates trail off when it comes to questions to ask a hiring manager or interviewer.

In my experience, that blunder is due to either lack of preparation, or the stress of the interview. How do you set yourself up for success during the hiring process? Keep in mind that the best interview questions to ask a hiring manager are the ones that emerge naturally from the conversation. You may find it helpful to jot down notes that can prompt questions to ask in an interview. Brainstorming beforehand and coming in with a few prepared questions can be effective, as well.

I want you to end the interview during the job search in a powerful and impactful way.  Asking the HR manager questions should be a two way street and will give insight into the company culture. Here are some sample questions and job tips to inspire your own brainstorming session.

Summary of questions to ask the hiring manager

Some good questions to ask at the end of an interview to hiring managers include the following:

• What about this position is most important? How does it support management and serve direct reports?

• What would you want to see me accomplish in the first six months?

• How would you measure my success, and what could I do to exceed your expectations?

• Which part of the position has the steepest learning curve? What can I do in order to get up to speed quickly?

• What are the expectations about managing workflow?

• How is the feedback process structured?

• What professional development opportunities will I have to learn and grow?

• What is the most challenging part of your job? What is your favorite part of your job?

• How did you get to your role?

• Do you have the tools and resources to do your job well?

• Do you feel that your opinions count?

• Is there anything I have said that makes you doubt I would be a great fit for this position?

1.

What is the history of this position?

This is an important question to ask hiring managers during the interview process because if you are offered the new job, you will have to work in the environment affected and shaped by your predecessor.

Perhaps this opening was recently created to support company growth. If that is the case, ask a follow-up question about who owned the responsibilities up to this point, and how the duties will be transitioned.

If you are interviewing for a position left vacant by someone’s departure, get a sense for what happened. Why did the predecessor leave the job? Was he or she promoted or internally transferred? If the predecessor left the company, ask about the circumstances.

On the same note, it is usually fair game to clarify whether the company is considering internal candidates for the position.

2. What about this position is most important? How does it support management and serve direct reports?

This is an important and good question to ask in a job interview because it can help you get insight into the new position and how it fits into the network of the company. Who will you support? Who will you supervise and guide? What is their management style or working style? What skills are critical for success?

3. What type of accomplishments would you expect in the first six months?

All too often, job descriptions present routine tasks and responsibilities. Asking about specific performance expectations and accomplishments can allow you to tailor the conversation to demonstrate that you’re the ideal candidate for the position. It also shows your commitment to adding value.

4. How would you measure my success, and what could I do to exceed your expectations?

I like this question because it addresses expectations in concrete terms. Beyond stock descriptions of good communication and analytical skills, what does excellence look like for that position?

5. Which part of the position has the steepest learning curve? What can I do in order to get up to speed quickly?

For some jobs, learning the technology or the internal company procedures is the most challenging aspect of coming on board. For others, it is about understanding the human network. Any guidance on how to speed up the learning process and make you effective and productive quicker can give you a significant advantage.

6. What are the expectations about managing workflow?

Virtually every company has enough work to keep everyone busy 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In practice, everyone gets to go home at the end of the day. How do you know when you are done for the day? What are the expectations around working on weekends and responding to emails outside the normal working hours?

7. How is the feedback process structured?

Asking this question in an interview has been critical for me as a candidate. Performance feedback is important and is how humans get better. Excellence and mastery have always been important to me, and I am aware that they are impossible without knowing how and when to ask for regular feedback. Does this company limit its feedback cycle to the annual reviews? Does the hiring manager make it a priority to deliver just-in-time acknowledgment and suggestions for improvement?

8.

What opportunities will I have to learn and grow?

Does the company offer formal or informal mentoring and coaching to boost your career potential? Does it invest in continued education or professional training to advance your career? Great companies want to hire people who are dedicated to personal and professional growth. Show your hiring manager that continued development is essential in the job market and is important to you.

9. What is the most challenging part of your job? What is your favorite part of your job?

Your hiring manager’s job is different from the one you are interviewing for. However, insight into his or her biggest challenges and favorites can offer a glance into the support and assistance you can offer.

10. How did you get to your role?

Asking deeply personal or intrusive questions won’t get you high marks on the interview. However, most professionals enjoy sharing their career journey. Ask what first attracted the hiring manager to this company and what the typical career path has been like.

11. Do you have the tools and resources to do your job well?

Asking this question at the end of an interview can give you insight into the challenges the hiring manager has in doing his or her job. Resources trickle down, so if the hiring manager is pressed for time, dealing with an unusually tight budget, or is short on human capital, you will be affected as well.

12. Do you feel that your opinions count?

Having an opportunity to contribute is one of the key indicators of job satisfaction and team performance. If your hiring manager feels heard, appreciated, and valued for his or her input, chances are the same will translate into your position.

13. Is there anything I have said that makes you doubt I would be a great fit for this position?

Asking this question at the end of an interview can feel terrifying. After all, you are asking whether there is any reason why the hiring manager wouldn’t want to extend you an offer. However, if you have the courage to ask this, you stand to gain a better sense of the next steps in the hiring process and an opportunity to address any reservations that the hiring manager might have about your candidacy while you still have his or her attention.

Having considered some of the questions that can put you in the best light and close the interview on a high note, here is a short list of questions that you should never ask in an interview.

Bonus: Questions you should never ask during an interview

• Information that can be found through a simple Google search. Interview questions such as, “What does your company do?” or “Who is your competition?” make you look like you did not do your research and are not serious about your candidacy.
• Gossip. If you have heard something through the grapevine that makes you doubt the company’s financial strength, ask your question in a non-confrontational way. Instead of, “Why are you about to lay off 1,000 employees next month?”, ask the potential employer or hiring manager for his or her opinion about how well positioned the company is for the future.
• Pay, raises, and promotions. All of that will be discussed as part of the offer and salary negotiations during the interview process.  It’s best to avoid questions that make you look too cocky, or paint the picture of someone who makes the decision based primarily on money.
• Background checks. Assume that the company will run a background check as part of the pre-offer due diligence. Asking this question makes you look like you have something to hide.
• Email or social media monitoring. Assume that the company monitors network usage in some way. The internet has a long memory and written comments have a way of getting around. Play it safe and don’t use the company’s network in ways that can make you look unprofessional.  
• Deeply personal or invasive questions. You don’t want to make the interviewer feel uncomfortable or defensive.

How to pass an interview and what questions to ask the employer

. Tips and hints from those who are looking for or want to change jobs

More than half of employers in Russia are ready to devote ten to 30 minutes to interviewing a candidate. [1] And during this time you need to prove that you are worthy to take the proposed position. RBC Life learned from HRs and recruiters how to impress them.

How to prepare for an interview

It is a mistake to think that an interview begins with an exchange of pleasantries. Before meeting with a company employee, it is better to do a little homework.

1. Remember the job title and company . An especially important point if this is one of many interviews for you.
2. Print summary . An HR will most likely have a resume, but such reinsurance will show your attention to detail. If you don’t need it, no big deal.
3. Prepare questions about the company . What to ask, we will tell below.
4. Find out route . If you have an interview in the office, find out in advance how to get to it.
5. Choose the right clothes .
6. Don’t forget to bring your passport . If you are invited to a company office, it is possible that you will need a grounds pass. Usually HRs talk about the need for a document, but it’s better to play it safe.

How to dress for an interview

A study by psychologists Janine Willis and Alexander Todorov from Princeton showed that a tenth of a second (!) Is enough to form the first impression of a stranger. [2] Don’t waste your time: there will be no second chance to make a first impression.

The majority of HR and recruiters surveyed by RBC Life pay attention to the image of the applicant.

Vladimir Sidorenko, founder of the consulting company “Performia”:

“Of course, when hiring a person for a position that involves direct interaction with clients, a neat appearance is a plus. But some applicants go to interviews so often that they even have a special suit for this. They look perfect and act the same, but as employees they are inefficient.”

Yuliya Novikova, Head of Human Resources at Penztyazhpromarmatura:

“The adequacy of the situation is very important. Extremes are always alarming: both slovenliness, and vice versa, excessive pretentiousness. For example, a strong smell of perfume can create a negative impression.”

Inna Anisimova, General Director of PR Partner Communication Agency:

“I don’t see a direct connection between the formal suit and the level of professionalism. Of course, when a meeting with a client or a call is planned, you need to look neat and more restrained. Exactly without wrinkled clothes, stains, groomed nails. The requirements for the applicant are approximately the same, but there are no special regulations.

Nadezhda Zykova, Senior Account Manager, Coleman Group:

“We always pay attention to the appearance of the candidate, because in a sense this is also the hallmark of the applicant. Plus, the appearance can immediately tell how the candidate will fit into the corporate culture of the company.

However, if our expectations from the appearance are not justified, for example, a candidate for a director-level position arrived in jeans, we ask clarifying questions about what dress code is adopted in his current company, what dress code the candidate prefers. But in any case, at the meeting, we expect a neat appearance from the candidate.”

Egor Yatsenko, IT recruiter, author of the book “IT Recruitment: How to find the best specialists when everything is on fire”:

“It is important to understand that covid has made its mark. Now Zoom interviews, Skype interviews have become even more of a practice than before. Accordingly, the requirements for appearance are often reduced. There are pretty basic things, from the series if the candidate did not wear a T-shirt for a Zoom interview, then this will be a trigger for me. These stories are not just from the head, these are real stories. But there are probably no strict requirements that one must be in a shirt now. And I wouldn’t show them.”

The majority of interviewed professionals pay attention to the neatness and appropriateness of applicants’ clothing. At a minimum, interview items should be clean, tidy and ironed.

How to overcome anxiety before an interview

Anxiety and anxiety are a normal human reaction to the unknown. And the interview for the majority is just terra incognita.

It is difficult to reduce anxious feelings, because strong arousal comes automatically, and suppressing emotions often only makes things worse. [3] So if you’re feeling anxious before an interview, first accept that feeling.

Nina Zvereva, business coach, lecturer at the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo, author of the book The Magic of Communication. This can be learned!”:

« Light excitement is your ally. It makes the brain work to the maximum, gives shine to the eyes: your interlocutor sees that you are really interested in the conversation. If you are so worried that you cannot connect two words, prepare a greeting in advance. Very short, one or two sentences, but learn it. You will begin to speak with a familiar phrase, and this will help the brain to calm down and get into a working rhythm.

If you’re feeling nervous after a few minutes of meeting, try some breathing exercises. From the simplest: breathe with an extended exhalation. Did not help? Try to bring yourself back to the here and now.

Tatyana Poritskaya, Bachelor and Master of Psychology:

“Worrying, we plunge into our own disturbing thoughts. To get out of this state, we need to return ourselves to reality. To do this, you need to switch your attention to what is happening around, and begin to mentally describe it: what you see around you, what you hear, in detail and in fact, without your own interpretation. During the description, the areas of the brain responsible for thinking and perception are activated, and the activation of the areas that provoke an anxiety reaction is reduced.

How to pass an interview: instructions

1. Don’t be late or too early . Ideally, arrive five minutes before your scheduled time. But do not warn the recruiter much in advance about your appearance. Appreciate his time.
2. Be nice . Remember the first impression? And if it is no longer possible to change the costume at the meeting, then a smile will only benefit. But be careful not to overdo it so that the recruiter does not have thoughts about your insincerity.
3. Answer questions calmly . Even, it would seem, the most uncomfortable. Perhaps you are being tested for stress tolerance and emotional intelligence.
4. Don’t lie . This is especially true of your knowledge of a foreign language: the recruiter may offer to continue the interview in another language.
5. Ask your questions to the specialist. This is where the list you made before the interview comes in handy.

There are also several psychological tricks that will help win over a person. Psychologist and Gestalt therapist Elena Masolova advises using several techniques:

• eye contact . Do not look to the side or down, but look at the interlocutor at the moment when he says something to you;
• mirroring the interlocutor’s posture, tone, timbre and intonation of the voice . It is very important to mirror hardly noticeably, as if mentally taking his pose, and not to act ape, otherwise you risk getting the opposite effect;
• validation . This is a slight smile, head nods during the interlocutor’s monologue, words spoken in an undertone: “good”, “yes”;
• keywords . These are the words that a person repeats several times or gives them a special emotional coloring. Use them in your answer to the question.

In an online interview, the same techniques will work, but the main task is to take care of the frame. Think about good lighting and backgrounds. Try to set the camera so that you can be seen from the waist up. This will make it easier to gesticulate and not think that your face is being stared at too closely.

What questions are asked in an interview?

When answering questions, HRs check not only the competencies of a specialist, but also try to get to know him as a person, to understand how stress-resistant a person is.

The majority of those interviewed by RBC Life noted that there is no typical set of questions. Everything is determined by the position for which the candidate is selected.

Galina Podovzhnyaya, HR director of 3M in Russia and the CIS, author of the book “HR without stereotypes”:

“I formulate questions according to the same methodology – these are behavioral questions that allow me to measure competencies. This is the STAR technique. Give an example of a situation in which you did something. What task did you set for yourself, what actions did you take, what result did you achieve.

I have one favorite question that I ask in almost every interview. It helps to understand how a person has a developed ability to learn. The question is: can you share an example of failure in your life, the mistake you made, and what conclusions you have drawn from this situation.

Dinara Kuchusheva, Head of Human Resources at Cross Technologies:

“We always assess hard and soft skills during interviews. Communication with the candidate begins HR-manager. Usually he devotes more time to software: evaluates the quality of communication, willingness to work in a team, motivation. If the first stage is completed successfully, then a competency-based interview is conducted. A team leader is connected to it, who is able to assess the relevance of the applicant’s past experience from an expert point of view. During the conversation, we look not only at the success of the candidate, but also at the difficulties that he managed to face. Because the ability to overcome failures and draw the right conclusions from it is the experience that is really most valuable in the work.

Nadezhda Zykova, Senior Account Manager at Coleman Group:

“There are times when an applicant cannot disclose certain information while being bound by an NDA. As a rule, this information is of a commercial nature or is related to issues of competitive advantage over competitors.

Shutterstock

When we receive a refusal from a candidate to answer a question, we need to clarify the reason for this refusal. If there is an NDA, it is necessary to rephrase the question so that the candidate, without violating the points of the non-disclosure agreement, could answer in such a way that we have a certain understanding on this issue. Example: A candidate cannot disclose the figures for their annual sales plan. In this case, we ask the candidate a question: what percentage of performance indicators did you demonstrate over the previous two years, was there any dynamics in increasing the volume of personal sales?

What to say at an interview

Galina Govorun, a psychologist and expert in management and managerial communication of the Business Speech group of companies, advises what answers can be given to questions that are likely to be asked during an interview.

Why did you leave your last job

Respond constructively. Talk not only about the shortcomings of the previous place, but also about what you liked. For some reason, you came to your previous place of work and worked there for some time.

Formulate dual arguments. For example, I liked teamwork, we succeeded in complex projects, but recently mutual understanding with the manager has decreased. I realized that I would not be able to work on my projects. We discussed it, and I decided that I want to develop in a different direction, so I’m here.

Tell us about yourself

It should be clarified what the interlocutor is specifically interested in. If this is at the mercy of you, you should not start with graduation from the university. Focus on your three key competencies: how they were formed, give examples of situations where you showed them. So you can touch on different periods of your career and do not tire the interlocutor with a biographical summary. Be sure to tell a little about something personal, such as what your passion is, what your hobby is, what inspires you. This information is important because it gives the other person an idea of ​​you not only as a professional, but also as a person and team member.

How did you hear about this position

It’s hard to come up with an incorrect answer to this question – just answer honestly, even if it’s a coincidence. More importantly, what attracted you to this position and why it should be you. Jump straight to this information.

Tell us about your failure at work

This is a good question for the applicant. You should absolutely not be afraid of him, and in no case should you say that you did not have any failures. Why? Because that doesn’t happen. Your job is to inspire trust, so find an anecdote in your practice that you can share.

Never say that other people are to blame for failure. Take some responsibility. For example: there was a fuzzy statement of the problem, so the result was not 100%. I, of course, should have clarified and double-checked the information. Since then, I have made it a rule: always at the end of the dialogue, summarize and double-check your understanding.

Shutterstock

Why do recruiters ask about failures? They don’t want to hear that you are Superman and have never failed. The recruiter evaluates the ability to introspection, the willingness to take responsibility for the result and learn from mistakes. Do not be afraid of such questions – use them to your advantage.

How do you feel about working after work or extra tasks

Answer these questions honestly. You then with the answers that you give, live and work in this company. First of all, determine for yourself the admissibility of additional loading, its frequency and volume. Always negotiate on the shore: then neither you nor your employer will have disappointments.

What to do if you do not want to answer question

Personal life, loans, failures – some HRs are interested in these aspects of your life as well. The main advice here is not to be silent and remain calm.

Nina Zvereva, business coach, lecturer at the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo, author of the book The Magic of Communication. This can be learned!”:

“Sometimes you can laugh it off, sometimes you can answer to the point, supposedly not noticing the malicious subtext, sometimes you can limit yourself to a short answer about nothing. But the main thing is to always remain calm. A tone of calm confidence is what is guaranteed to help you.”

What questions to ask at an interview

After you have answered (successfully, of course) the recruiter’s questions, you will most likely be prompted to ask your own questions. Don’t be shy and don’t be afraid, that’s part of the interview too. Questions are expected from you.

Harmless questions you can definitely ask:

• specify your duties. Ask what will be the focus, what will you do most of all, what will you be offered to do in the first working week;
• find out about the team: how many people are in your department, how roles are distributed:
• ask about development prospects: is there a chance of career advancement, did employees move from your position to higher ones.

Vladimir Sidorenko, founder of the consulting company “Performia”:

“It is important that a person, in addition to salary and bonuses, be interested in the specifics of work, their job responsibilities. Then we can assume that he is at least interested in what he will do. It also speaks to its outbound focus.”

Shutterstock

Yuliya Novikova, Head of Human Resources at Penztyazhpromarmatura:

“It is important for us when a person has questions. This indicates his interest, that he is interested in both our company and the vacancy. Most often, clarifying questions are asked about motivation, about the opportunities that the company has in terms of development, about career prospects, about relationships in the team. It also happens that during the interview process, a person realizes that the vacancy for which he came is not suitable for him. In this case, he may well ask if the company has any other options for him.”

Tips for newbies: getting a job without experience

Most employers are willing to hire a person if the person is motivated, well-trained and ready to start from a small starting position.

Egor Yatsenko, IT recruiter, author of the book “IT Recruitment: How to find the best specialists when everything is on fire”:

“Motivation is important for recruiters from beginners, how much he is interested in this job, company, vacancy. This is what will be checked first. And if this is a beginner without work experience, then they pay attention to learning. It is important to understand how ready a person is to accept knowledge, how much he will try.

Yuliya Novikova, Head of Human Resources at Penztyazhpromarmatura:

« Even if you have zero experience, you should not refuse to participate in group tests or assessment centers. At the same time, a negative result should be perceived not as a loss, but as valuable feedback from the employer. Another important point at the initial level is not to exaggerate your ambitions and adequately assess the situation on the market. All beginners go through a period of professional development, and career growth and big earnings will definitely come along with experience. ”

Galina Podovzhnyaya, HR director of 3M in Russia and the CIS, author of the book “HR without stereotypes”:

“You need to realistically assess your situation, be realistic in anticipation of what position, salary level you can apply for. You should not be afraid to come to the very initial positions, what is called entry positions. These are positions for entering the company. Go as call center employees, secretaries, coordinators. It can be a very boring, uninteresting, unattractive job for you with low wages. I know a huge number of people who have made brilliant careers and have grown to top managers, starting their careers from such entry positions.

Victoria Tsybulina, HR consultant (worked with PJSC Rostelecom and PepsiCo Holdings):

“When a person with no experience is hired, they look at his potential – skills that he can develop based on his personal qualities. Write and learn your personal presentation: who you are, what you can do, what you have done, what results you have achieved in life, what you want, what goals you set for yourself and how you plan to achieve them.

Vladimir Sidorenko, founder of the consulting company “Performia”:

“If a person has not yet worked, the argument will be his ability not to give up and achieve his goals, confirmed by achievements. Perhaps you have victories in sports, prizes in creative competitions, or social projects organized by you. It could also be a thing you created.”

Inna Anisimova, CEO, PR Partner Communications Agency:

« A person’s knowledge of the company works as a plus. When a candidate does not have relevant experience, he can study the company’s website, suggest several options for improvement: this shows that a person knows how to think and is interested in work. A positive attitude is also important: it energizes and increases productivity.”
