Establishing an Interview Committee
▪ Position;
▪ Position; and
▪ Position.
Having the right mix of committee members ensures different perspectives during the
interview and allows any individuals who will be working with the candidate the chance to
interview them.
Four panel members is ideal. For six or more members, break participants into two separate
groups and have the candidates interview with both groups.
Video Conferencing
Video conferencing is a great way to save travel time and money while allowing all members
to participate in the interviewing process. When video conferencing:
DO:
▪ Schedule 30 minutes the day before the interview to do a test run and ensure all
technology works properly.
▪ Have all remote members log on at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the interview.
DO NOT:
▪ Wait until the time of the interview to attempt to get technology to work properly.
▪ Mute or forget about the remote member.

Time Activity
Pre-meeting
Schedule some time before the first candidate arrives for the interview committee to:
Unacceptable Questions
Asking appropriate questions during a formal interview is imperative to making sure we are
staying in compliance to say HR regulations. Please be mindful of what you are asking during
an interview. Below are some do’s and don’ts to interview questions.
▪ Do not ask any questions that are or could potentially be construed as related
to/about a candidate’s age, gender, race/ethnic history, sexual orientation, religion,
political beliefs, affiliated organizations, criminal history, handicap, physical
appearance, family, marital status, children, pregnancy, finances, or current salary.
▪ Do not ask a candidate about anything with their physical appearance, mental ability,
or other features
- You can say, “This job requires you to regularly lift 25 pounds or more. Would you be
able to meet that requirement?” or “This job requires you to stay seated for most of a
full day, would you be able to meet that requirement?”
Work Hours
You can state what the position’s required work hours are, and whether the position will
require travel, working outside of core hours, or overtime hours and ask, “Are you able to
meet these requirements of the position?”
Do not delve into reasons why they can or can’t. Should they say something like, “I need to
leave by 4 p.m. each day.”, do not ask why, just determine whether the position can
accommodate that schedule and share that information.
Salary
Many states now prohibit any questions regarding a candidate’s current salary. To be safe, do
not ask a candidate what they currently make. You can ask them what they expect to make in
their next job, and if needed share with them the range of the position you are discussing and
ask them if that range is acceptable to them.

Internet Searches/Inquiries
Also, refrain from searching for candidates on social networking sites, especially non-work-
related sites like Facebook or Instagram. If recruiting from these sites, be very careful to not
make a hiring decision based upon information on these sites.
