How to Interview a Candidate for an Executive Position
“My goal when I interview a candidate for a position is threefold: 1) to get a strong feel for the quality, personality, and style of the person, 2) to assess how well he or she lines up with the requirements for the job, and 3) to sell the opportunity. I feel that I am simultaneously ‘buying,’ in the sense of evaluating the individual, and ’selling,’ in the sense of making the candidate more interested in the job.”
