Tips For Conducting an Online Interview 

Many organizations use video conferencing systems to screen candidates during the recruitment process. It is now becoming commonplace to see them also used throughout the recruitment lifecycle from screening to interviewing, assessing, and even onboarding. 

When done well, online interviewing saves money on travel and can be much more convenient for the recruiter and the candidate than traditional face to face meetings. 

Here are some tips for how to prepare for and conduct a successful online interview. 

1. Prepare yourself 

Reading the candidates CV and using the skills and competencies you’re looking for to design specific questions that explore each one are the most fundamental steps. Consider whether including a case study or open-ended question for them to prepare before the interview helps you better understand the candidate. 

Plan the interview's flow and timing and ensure you consider any time zone differences. Make sure that you also arrange any technical support you might need. 

Communicate expectations to the candidate ahead of the interview to give them adequate planning time and check that they understand how to connect to your meeting. Communicate the same to others involved in the interview and ensure that those who need to give feedback know how to collate and submit their input. 

If you plan to give a presentation, it is good practice to record a trial and review your body language. 

2. Check the technology and environment 

Check the equipment such as the video camera, microphone, and any specific software or features such as screen sharing that you are planning to use. 

Ensure that your screen is at the correct height for your face to be visible and that the lighting in the room does not cast shadows across the screen or create glare. 

The background you choose should be professional and not be a distraction to the candidate. 

3. Present your employer brand and communicate professionally 

Before beginning the interview, you should re-direct any calls and switch off your mobile phone. 

Even though the candidate may only see the top half of your body, you should dress as though you are at the office. Dressing professionally not only projects your company brand but also psychologically impacts how you feel. 

When conducting an online interview, you need to demonstrate positive body language, maintain eye contact and smile. It is tempting to look at the screen, but it projects a more professional image and aids in creating a connection with the candidate if you look directly at the camera. 

As communication can be restricted by the layer of technology between you and the candidate, you need to take care of your volume, tone, and speech clarity. Showing the candidate that you are actively listening sets them at ease and enables you to develop a positive relationship. 

4. Close the interview effectively with next steps 

To close the interview, you should explain the next steps; when candidates know what to expect, they feel respected and valued. 

Following the above process will help you feel more confident during the online interview and increase the opportunity of finding the right person for your vacancy.

#he's not

[blamemma]

thank you daniel (2011-2024) - no regrets, only memories.

to say goodbye to daniel within f1 still feels wrong. it will never be an easy pill to swallow. it is one dream unfulfilled, but a multitude of many other dreams achieved. i feared i would look back at the memories of daniel and feel that they would forever be tainted moving forward, but to remember all the joy, is to realise every moment was worth it. to look at these pictures, any pictures, of daniel, puts a lump in my throat, but also makes me want to smile from ear to ear. it was a pleasure to tune in every race weekend since the middle of 2021, and feel the nerves and the anxiety and the excitement that were probably only a fraction of what he felt. i'll forever wish he, we, had more. but each and every moment we did get was wonderful. and i cherish each and every one of them, as i'm sure he does. he deserved more. he deserved a proper goodybe. he deserved everything. but it's okay it wasn't that way. everything he had was beautiful. to whatever's next 🥂

actually blows my mind that at one point you could walk into a business with nothing but a resume in your hand, do a single interview and walk out with a job that pays you enough to be able to live a full life. what a world

The tale of Alex Turner's girlfriend's jumper, Josh Homme, and the making of Humbug

(Extracts from Mojo Magazine, September 2009)

The jumper sealed the deal: the cable-knit jumper, belonging to his girlfriend. Alex Turner just happened upon it early one evening in the different late summer of 2008, as he waited for the telephone to ring. It wasn't so much the fact of it being a girl's jumper. He could get away with wearing a size skinny, after all. And besides, it would be dark at the gig he planned to go to later on. No, it was the cable-knit which gave him pause. Was he, Alex wondered, really a cable-knit guy?

His reverie was interrupted by the call he'd been expecting. Alex had spoken to Josh Homme before: the Queens Of The Stone Age leader declared himself a fan by marching into the Arctic Monkeys dressing room at a Belgian festival the previous year; later in 2007 the Monkeys supported the Queens in Houston. Compliments were exchanged, though Alex did wonder about the precise mutuality of this appreciation. Maybe 70-30? Obviously, the Monkeys were big fans of QOTSA: the Queens' sensual dirt-rock had been a key benchmark for their album Favourite Worst Nightmare. And Josh Homme? He had at least heard of Alex's band, and that was good enough. But now here he was, on the phone, accepting the invitation to produce the next Arctic Monkeys album. Alex deferred taking the conversation down to brass tracks. Airily, he mentioned his knitwear dilemma.

Homme was firm on the matter.

"Go for it, man."

But I'm not sure. I mean, it belongs to me girlfriend, and it fits, and it looks all right, but...

"Just throw caution to the wind," said Homme, as if issuing an imperial edit. "Let go of those inhibitions you've got there and just wear your cable-knit."

Sound, said Alex. So, about this record...?

"I listened to the demo," said Homme. "I heard 30 seconds of it and thought, You're coming to the desert." Then, to himself, he added with relish. "And little do you know what's about to happen..."

That evening, Alex Turner wore his girlfriend's cable-knit jumper. A month or so later, he and his three bandmates were picked up from a Los Angeles hotel by Josh Homme and driven out to the small Mojave Desert town of Joshua Tree, where they began recording the new Arctic Monkeys album. One phone abut cable-knitwear later, Arctic Monkeys were off to southern California for a hot date.

....

Presiding throughout this transformative process [of recording Humbug], during the warm autumn days or late into the chilly desert nights, would be Alex Turner's girlfriend's cable-knit jumper.

"Josh likes to speak in analogies, in terms of how things should sound," says the Arctic Monkeys' songwriter with a chuckle, as he reflects upon the six-month gestation of his band's new album. "Cable-knits got mentioned a lot during recording. He was like, if you can wear a cable-knit you can put a glockenspiel on a tune. It became a metaphor: you can wear a cable-knit and then sonically we can try something different. We went off on a little adventure. Because we were conscious that if this were really going to work, we would have to open up a little more than we have in the past. Joshua Tree really feels far away. You felt..." He frowns, reaching for the right word. "Unpoliced."

Which all rather begs the question: does that six and a half foot ginger hunk of abiding rockness Josh Homme wear cable-knitwear? A small smile plays around the corners of Alex Turner's mouth.

"He assured me he did."

....

The previous evening Alex finally spoke to Josh Homme for the first time since Humbug's completion. After expressing his delight with the end results of their combat crawl through the Mojave badlands, Homme enquired whether Turner was going out later. Alex informed that he was. "Cable-knits?" asked Homme. "Cable-knits," said Alex, the Arctic Monkey, comfortable in the embrace of the strange.
