INTERVIEW STRUCTURE

Base the structure of the interview around ‘WASP’. This is a guideline structure and it is important to include all of the points, however, interviewers may wish to adjust the order of some of the following items to suit their preferences:

W                              Welcome

• Be punctual
• Greet the candidate in person
• Introduce yourself and give your job title
• Confirm purpose of interview (job applied for)
• Establish rapport with a couple of easy questions or comments, for example on where they live, journey to interview etc
• Explain structure and timing (i.e. acquire information before supplying information)
• Explain that you will be taking notes

A                                Acquire Information by Asking Questions

This is the most vital section of the interview. You can split it into two parts:

• Overview and CV
• In-depth questioning to determine action and behaviour.

S                                 Supply Information/Sell the Company

• Explain briefly what the job involves and the working conditions successful candidates would be expected to meet, e.g. hours etc
• Sell the company and its benefits
• Answer any questions and note the quality of their questions about the company / the work
• Amplify nature of the job, cover working requirements, hours, travel, pay (if appropriate)

P                                Part and Plan

• Check whether candidate has any other points to make
• Check the candidate’s continued interest
• Give time-table for decision
• Thank them and see them out personally
• Remain neutral in your language
