Interview Questions: How to Identify Talent

The points mentioned from the Forbes article provide a good framework for identifying talent during an interview. Here’s a breakdown of each point and some potential interview questions related to each:

  1. Experience:
    • Can you share specific examples from your past experience that demonstrate your ability to excel in this role?
    • How have your previous roles prepared you for the challenges of this position?
  1. Motivation:
    • What interests you most about this role and our company?
    • Can you discuss a project or task that really motivated and excited you in your previous position?
  1. Culture Fit:
    • How would you describe your ideal work environment?
    • Can you give an example of a time when you successfully contributed to a team or company culture?
  1. Expectations:
    • What are your career goals, and how does this position align with them?
    • How do you prioritize factors such as location, salary, and work/life balance in your career decisions?
  1. Customer Interactions:
    • Can you share an experience where you had to handle a challenging customer interaction and how you resolved it?
    • How do you approach collaboration and compromise in a team setting?
    • Describe a situation where you had to deal with conflict within a team, and how did you handle it?
