As an employer you have to conduct interviews often in your life to recruit/hire the best persons for a job. But finding the best from a crowd is not always an easy task; and any one with best academic qualifications and experience need not to be the best guy you want. You know that, you need some specific questions to find out the best.

• Starting with personal questions is always better option, but you have to limit the number of personal questions. One or two questions about family and academic details will be enough.
• Now ask some thing about his general knowledge and opinions. The questions should be simple and only require a short answer.
• The aim is to figure out the mentality of the person. Is he positive with his thoughts, is he like challenges and willing to take risks, is he true to his words.
• Now something about his technical knowledge and problem solving ability to make sure that he fit to the position. Remember to carefully analyze his willingness to learn new things. Any one who learns fast but lack experience is also a good option.
• One as an employer you should be vigilant is to keep your expectations reasonable. You can’t get a professional at cheapest rates.
