Print recruitment insight

Planning a useful print recruitment interview

A structured interview gives every candidate a fair opportunity and produces evidence that is easier to compare.

Choose evidence before questions

Agree the few capabilities that predict success, then ask each candidate for examples of how they have used them.

Explore the working context

Ask about the products, volumes, tolerances, customers and deadlines behind an achievement, not just the equipment involved.

Use a relevant scenario

A short, realistic production or customer scenario can reveal prioritisation and communication without becoming an unpaid work exercise.

Score before discussing

Have interviewers record evidence against the agreed criteria before sharing opinions. This reduces the effect of first impressions.
