As managers, we are often totally unprepared to conduct an effective interview. We interview candidates who have been coached or stayed up late the night before practicing their answers to what they think we will want to know. We often ask the wrong questions and allow our stereotypes to get in the way. Many of us end up making a decision within the first three minutes of the interview, based on misinterpretations and incomplete data, and are using ‘yesterday’s’ strategies in hiring.
