Sep 5, 2022

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.
