Interview Board Chairmanship for Companies

Is your interview board properly trained? Are they confident and comfortable, not only about the questions they are asking to get the best from your candidates but also about how to score them, how to decide on what they have heard and how to recognise their own biases?
Are they confident, when there is an internal competition or an internal candidate, that they can separate their previous knowledge from what they hear at the interview to be consistent in their treatment of all candidates?

Testimonials

"High quality preparation clarifying what information we needed to source from candidates and assisting us to frame questions that would get us that information.
Very clear in her direction to us of the process so we were assured and confident because Kate guided us safely through process. Never received negative feedback or complaints from candidates.
Very respectful in her interaction with candidates, giving an authentic message that we wanted them to do their best.
Very systematic in the record keeping, scores, comments etc. all of which was assuring for board and took burden from us.
I think this is the most important… Kate shared our corporate responsibility to get the best outcome even though she would not be affected by the outcome in the longer term. Therefore we trusted her."

Ann Ryan, Senior Manager, HIQA

"What I think you brought to the interview board last week:
You were confident in and comfortable with the whole process of competency based interviewing. This instilled confidence in the board which enabled us to participate at least somewhat effectively! You conveyed a sense of trust which enabled us to discuss both the process and the attributes of candidates without having to be overly concerned about anything other than what we were about.
I valued and depended upon your experience, expertise, leadership and wisdom throughout the two days and also the confidence you placed in us. Lastly, even though we were involved in an important and serious process, in your role as chair of the interview board you set the tone, which was one of ease, openness and professionalism with a little bit of humour thrown in , in perfect measure! I believe that this enabled the candidates to relax and engage in the conversation and I watched as they responded to your genuine interest in them and your curiosity about their experience to date, their role in what they described and what they believed they had to offer the particular role being interviewed for. I found the experience to be a valuable learning one for me as an interviewer and I observed and I think participated in a process that got the most from those being interviewed.
Thanks Kate!"

"This is what I felt Kate Lawler brought to the Interview panel :
Humour - having a sense of humour with the panel and the candidates
Realism - coming across to the panel and the candidates as being down to earth and very real - giving the candidates an opportunity to be themselves
Probing - Kate gave candidates every opportunity to do their best at the interview by asking lots of questions in many different ways - trying to get the most out of the candidate
Adaptability - making allowance for having an inexperienced interviewer on the panel and helping them progress in their skills without judgement
Confidence – Kate inspired a professional confidence on the panel and for me it was good to have someone who was well experienced at interviewing and someone I felt confidently knew what they were at.
Liveliness, enthusiastic and bubbly would also be words to describe Kate, both professionally and personally."
