questions when interviewing for a particular position. Follow up questions can be asked in response to candidates’ answers. This practice ensures that candidates for the same position are asked the same questions, ensuring more accurate comparisons and decreasing the chance of discrimination.

Hiring Guidelines

or immediately following the interview to refer back to when narrowing the field of candidates and to compare with others who may interview the applicants. Enclosed is a form with some sample interview questions for your use.
