Leadership interviews are vital when it comes to building a strong staff body. Not only are they an opportunity to really discover if a candidate lives up to the expectations set by their application, it’s also a chance for the candidate to assess their potential employer.
For that reason, rushing things on the day or not fully putting prospective staff through their paces can have detrimental effects.
