You need to ROCK the interview process by not only asking the right questions but giving the right answers. That’s right, it’s actually a two-way street!
The hiring process can be a grueling trial full of potential pitfalls. Believe me, I’ve been there — I worked in recruitment back during my corporate days! (Let me tell you, I did not enjoy it one bit!)

- How to do your due diligence and avoid hiring misfires
- Why an interview is also a branding exercise — and how that realization will help you select the perfect candidate for your company!
