3 Introduction Reuben Sinclair Ltd has introduced this interview technique with start-ups to global organisations for over ten years. Over the years we have implemented this recruitment strategy, it is by far the most effective for finding the best candidates who are the best for not only your business but also your culture. This document is a step by step guide to an interview technique that is proven to keep your hiring process consistent throughout the whole organisations and flexible enough for different role descriptions. 3 of 14

4 Interview Content We recommend selecting six different criterion that you are looking for when hiring a new team member. As a management team we recommend you agree on at least two of these criterion that candidates are judged on, these criteria should be in line with the company s values and appear in every interview the company completes. Below are some example criteria that we tend to hire individuals on: 1. Are they passionate? 2. Are they an analytical thinker? 3. Are they an exceptional communicator? 4. Are they a team player?* 5. Are they self motivated?* 6. Are they a strategic thinker? *Company-wide hiring criteria All of the interview questions that you select should be chosen so you are able to extract whether the person embodies the above criteria. For example, if you are looking for a strategic thinker you may choose more logic based questions e.g. how many cups of coffee are drunk in London everyday? Review our interview question bank on page X for inspiration. 4 of 14

5 Interview Structure To make sure the interview is well balanced with the correct mix of questions, we recommend that you are carve up your interview questions in the following way: 25% general interview questions 25% culture fit questions 50% industry relevant questions In regards to the length of the interview, for a first round we recommend up one hour initially as an absolute maximum. For the second round interview, we see the best retention rates when it is slightly longer, up to an hour and a half. Some of the clients we work with also like to mix in a team meet and greet in the second stage to assess whether the candidate would be a team fit. 5 of 14

6 Interview Evaluation and Candidate Selection As mentioned before all of the questions should be selected so that you are able to discover whether the person you are interviewing can give examples of the six criteria you are looking for. You should absolutely use some form of a scoring system to assess the candidates answers; because let s face it, bias does sometimes get the better of us maybe someone made you laugh a little more or maybe someone has the same interests as you it s no reason to employ them over someone who is more capable and a better fit to the role and company. The scoring system we use is there to help us score each person on the criteria we are looking for to enable us to fairly assess who our top runners are at the end of the interview process, eliminating any personal biases. This scoring system is also consistent across our business, so we know exactly where a candidate stands regardless of who has interviewed them. The scoring system works as below: -1 = the candidate does not display this criterion 0 = displays sufficient examples of the criterion 1 = displays over and beyond the criterion The examples section is useful for jotting down specific examples, after a long interview process you will struggle to remember for what reason you scored each person the grade that you did so it is important to fill out this section as a mental prompt. 6 of 14
