• Designing a set of competency based interview questions specific to the role to identify relevant skills and behaviours
• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging – Questions to ask &amp; questions to avoid
• Assessing the candidate’s answers using the STARR technique
• Understanding what’s most important for the candidate
• Identifying potential red flags during the interview (e.g. likely longevity in the role due to study commitments or future aspirations)
• Understanding the likelihood of team fit
• Understanding what’s most important to the candidate
• Benchmarking candidates and candidate selection
• Clinical interview processes v operational interview processes
