阅读理解 The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during the interview. These notes should be factual and should detail observations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate''s responses to questions. There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes, and no notes should be taken on a resume (简历). Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed. These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close comparisons between each candidate'' s responses, which will help you determine the best match for the position. Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to candidates. Today'' s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity (永远). Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefit demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback (反馈) about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the "perfect fit" right out from under you!
