Those who haven’t been selected can bring discrimination claims
Ensure that you don’t ask questions that can lead someone to believe they have been discriminated against – present the job ‘warts and all’ and people who think it won’t be for them will de-select themselves!
Do not ask pre-offer health/disability questions
Keep notes if rejecting and detailed reasons
Interview
Format
First interview should be manager’s CV interview: what they have done, experience, knowledge, background etc
Second interview should be more competency/behaviour-based
Consider some form of testing before second interview
CV
Questioning
Divide the CV into activities and can’t be guaranteed results (e.g. ‘co-ordinated’ is an activity!
Ask ‘achievement’-related questions e.g.: “what got you a well-done on that”, “what do you mean by the word 'successfully'”
