The 15 criteria employers are now paying closer attention to during interview

What Are Employers Evaluating During Interviews?

According to a recent survey by BambooHR, 33% of all new hires are quitting their job within the first six months. It has shown that as a result, employers are now evaluating potential hires on 15 additional areas to help reduce turnover and to ensure that potential employees have not only the drive, but also the softer skills to fit with the organisation’s long term plans.

These 15 criteria are:

  • Enthusiasm
  • Ability to speak clearly and listen
  • Leadership skills
  • Problem solving
  • Work related experience
  • Team player
  • Company knowledge
  • Flexibility
  • Ambition and motivation
  • Transferrable skills
  • People skills (emotional intelligence)
  • Ability to handle conflict
  • Technology skills
  • Reliability

When preparing for your interview, it’s important that you can speak to each of these points and provide relevant examples. If you do this well, you may improve your chances of advancing in the interview process and securing a potential job offer.
