A big part of interviewing is selling the open position and your company as a compelling place to work to someone you just met. You’ve got to hit the highlights for sure and revisit them regularly, but most of us just don’t touch on areas where our businesses can improve, and that might be why you’re hiring this person in the first place. It could be updating the product line, giving our culture a jolt, or having clear expectations for the position we’re trying to fill.
Navigating Strengths vs. Concerns
No one wants to be sold a false bill of goods. Telling your future co-worker what you think they want to hear rather than gracing them with reality is a waste of time & money and will leave everyone feeling disappointed. Many of your organization’s shortcomings are apparent to you and everyone else and can be tactfully presented. Unfortunately, what you consider the strength of your organization may be an area of concern for your candidate. The toughest aspect of being honest about the challenges that may lie ahead is knowing what the stranger in front of you thinks is a concern.
