Do you phone screen applicants before doing in-person interviews?
Yes, I prefer talking to applicants before an in-person interview to better understand their motivations for applying and to ensure our priorities align.
What do your in-person interviews entail?
During an in-person interview, I like to discuss any certifications and qualifications the candidate may have. It’s important for me to learn more about the technician as an individual. We'll talk about past work experience and touch on what the candidate hopes to achieve with our company. I will also give the technician a tour of the shop. During this time, the applicant will be introduced to our shop foreman, who will ask a few questions of his own.
