Interview Checklist for Candidates Form

I've never filled out a job application, since the resume was the application.  If the information was in the resume then filling out an application was redundant.  If there was critical job related information that wasn't in the resume, then the resume was binned.

One young modest Asian woman, an introvert as well, was not only educated in the finest schools, but when we dined with her, after speaking kudos in several languages, she was requested into the kitchen and explained in at least 3 languages how they might cook things better. I was shocked at first, but seeing the wide smiles - it was a most memorable evening for all. They loved her suggestions, flow of languages and sheer intelligence, to say the least. That was the restaurant.However, previous to this it didn't flow so well, let's go back a few weeks…The rather long-winded, but good-souled, Southern owner of the company was convinced the phone interview was “quite poor" at best and she “hardly got all my points". I did explain that at times even his staff had trouble following him when he got extremely excited and we heard him over the phone and that same excitement took place here, but not for her. He inquired “ How would I know it's not for her?" We explained that she couldn't have that passion yet, that you have developed over years!” He heard me but felt he had to stick to his guns, per se and he wasn't interested. I had a Pow-Wow with his CEO and explained the candidates need to go in depth with each point and his sweeping conversation we're not a match at first, style wise, but very necessary for the success of the organization. The CEO joined me a few hours later and we turned the mindset of the owner, per se. However, that's about the owner, what about the candidate?Modesty and being an introvert are a tough combination, throw in being an immigrant and you have many other challenging dimensions. If one doesn't speak slowly, much less can be processed as it most likely has to go through, in this case Chinese first and then English. This is what ATS software doesn't pick up on ( ya know, the software which screens out the gems and pics up those who might not be, but it's all the rage, but none of the reality …for now) and all the reason why a human must be in the recruiting process. I spoke slowly, got to know her and saw that it wasn't going to be easy for her to find work, but she was what my client needed for balance in many dimensions.Flash-forwards a few weeks, morning after the restaurant, she had her interviews. Days later, after meeting with everyone and passing all the interviews, we asked for 8 references and followed up, and I also got feedback from a few people I knew at her previous employment- she checked out extremely well. One even told me that I would be very surprised how well things would go, if she played a major role with China. He was a very close family friend, and that sealed the deal as well verified, based on my clients projected needs. However one didn't return the call so soon.A few weeks into the job the last reference called back. I created a nice connection with him. He told me that her name was modified legally, and she was really part of a dynasty.Didn't quite know where to go with this, so it became my secret. Years later, when they did business with China, they couldn't understand how it went so smoothly. It was magic to them, and their lawyers tried to take all the credit. She had various levels of connections from old established relationships of her family which kept the big box companies from working around her relationships. A very powerful force of respect for her family well above money and reinforcing contractual relationships beyond the words themselves. Something most people are not as familiar with today. Not one bsignNow of contract in a few years. Unheard of on the street. She was a secret weapon.Sometimes your clients only have to know that you did your job, not what would be ‘nice’ to hear but threaten the privacy of the hire and perhaps change relationships. Do you have a secret?She was later offered stock in the company to counter an offer from Volvo. Their contracted HR made their attempts. Not real enough for her. Geely got on the phone himself. Several rounds took place on both sides. After several conversations with her and her employer, she stayed- stock in the company saved the day. Not an easy decision as Geely had deep pockets and could play to culture and history much better, but familiarity, lifestlye and stock won out.Company sold a few years later. She never dreamed she would have seven figures from this - but she did. Stock pays where salaries sometimes can't in small privately held companies. Keep that in mind.Keep up with your recruiter - hire him if you can. Info is golden in this economy. She went from an introvert to a star player one hundred conversations later. Amazing it went so far. How far can you grow? Think about it & call yourself on it. Better yet, call me when you are ready.

Before shortlisting, you should have first written a good job advertisement that describes the job ( you should have done a good job analysis), and understand the actual requirements.Then you should have listed the minimum job requirements. If you included this in, you should shortlist based on the min job requirements.That has an impact because you would be receiving applications from applicants that meet your requirements and also your payroll budget.Thus, job analysis and min job requirements are very important.
