​​​​​​​Give Them A Test – Whether you opt for a skills test, work simulation test, general aptitude test, or another type of test, you’ll soon have an idea of the candidate’s suitability for the role.

Don’t Sugarcoat It – Be realistic about what the job entails. Are the hours long and unsociable? Are there tedious parts to the work? Getting real with potential hires ensures you find the right fit.

Ask Behavioral Questions – To get a handle on their capabilities, ask questions that invite them to share more about how they work and what they’ve learned from past experiences.

Check Compatibility – You want a candidate that will fit in with your company’s culture. To gauge this, you can ask them to describe their ideal company culture and what it was like at their previous company.
