What are your favorite interview questions?

I really didn't like interviews when I didn't vet the people ahead of time. My process is:

• Get pictures of previous work and a resume
• if they pass that sniff test, then I ask them to fill out a form that has pictures of all our services and I ask them to rate themselves. I feel like for your business you could do a couple before pictures and ask them how they would start. Mainly get to see how they think. I'm sure you have a bunch of training and stuff but would be good just to see how they process info. 
• Do a 10- 15 minute phone call

At this point if they've made it past all these barriers I know it's worth my time. 

I use a framework from breakthrough academy for interviews. I stick to this because If I'm left up to my own questions I won't get the information I need. Yes it sounds corporate but whatever, they coach it because it works. 

Questions:

What do you already know about the business? Just to see if they put in any effort. A lot of guys say they didn't look in to at all. I feel like they should tbh. 

What interests you about the role and our business?

What would your ideal role look like? I had an ops manager guy once tell me his ideal role is working from home. Sorry pal, not with me. lol

Why do you need this role or employment in general?

What activities do you enjoy outside your work life?

What are your professional goals for the next 1-2 years?

What are your personal goals for the next 1-2 years? it's interesting to see if they even have goals. It's ok if they aren't there yet but I want people that want more in life. 

Review the role expectations and features, matching authentic features and benefits of the role and the company to the candidate’s needs.

These are about half of them but definitely help steer the convo.
