Karen Thornton – Speaker

So you’ve built rapport, asked your 

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,200
questions, and made your notes. Now it’s time to conclude the interview. 

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,400
You’ll want to ask the candidate if they have any questions. 

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,800
This is a great opportunity to better understand the candidate as well as ask additional questions if required.


5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,966
After you’ve answered their questions, continue by explaining the next steps in the process. 

6
00:00:30,966 --> 00:00:35,466
This might include such information as the possibility for additional interviews 

7
00:00:35,466 --> 00:00:39,366
and who will be the next person to contact the candidate and when.


8
00:00:39,366 --> 00:00:41,966
Mr. Miller: Okay, we are looking to bring someone on board by the first of the month. 

9
00:00:41,966 --> 00:00:46,699
And so there’s no 
confusion, let me explain to you how we handle the next step. 

10
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:53,066
If we decide to bring you in for a second interview or if we want to hire you, we will call you before 5:00 pm on 

11
00:00:53,066 --> 00:00:58,399
the first of the month. If you don’t get a call from us, that means we decided on another candidate. 

12
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,500
This way you’ll know exactly what our timeframe is for filling the position. 

13
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:12,500
Oh, and I’d also like to add that even if you don’t get hired, we do have a policy of keeping qualified applicant’s 

14
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,733
information on file for a reasonable amount of time for future positions.


15
00:01:14,733 --> 00:01:18,999
Ms. Ford: Great, then I’ll look forward to hearing from you on the first.


16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,066
Mr. Miller: Fantastic. Well, let me walk you out to the lobby. It’s been great talking with you.


17
00:01:22,066 --> 00:01:24,799
Ms. Ford: Thank you!


18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,966
Mr. Miller: I’ve really enjoyed hearing about your experience and all that you’ve been doing.


19
00:01:26,966 --> 00:01:30,166
Karen Thornton: It’s always common courtesy to walk the candidate to the door, the lobby, 

20
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:32,932
or to the next interviewing manager. Now the candidate is gone. 

21
00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:39,399
You’ve almost completed your first interview but still have a few administrative tasks to take care of.
