Interviewing That Actually Works: How to Hire the Right People the First Time

Hiring is one of the highest-impact decisions you make as a manager, and most people are never actually taught how to do it well.

Interviews often turn into casual conversations, gut decisions, or rushed yes/no calls that don’t always hold up once the person is on the team.

This session will give you a simple, practical approach to interviewing so you can ask better questions, evaluate candidates more clearly, and make confident hiring decisions.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Structure interviews so they stay focused and consistent

• Ask questions that actually reveal how someone works

• Evaluate responses without overthinking or second-guessing

• Listen for what matters beyond “good answers”

• Avoid common hiring mistakes that lead to the wrong fit

You’ll also learn:

• What questions are off-limits and how to avoid them

• How to keep interviews fair, consistent, and compliant

• What to do instead so you still get the information you need

This is a live, interactive session designed to be practical and immediately useful.

Come with one role you’re hiring for (or expect to hire for). You’ll leave with questions you can use right away.
