To avoid the pitfall, here are 3 deadly sins to avoid while interviewing a job candidate.

No Preparation

Many associations place leaders in interviewing roles, yet haven't shown them viable techniques. Interviewing is both an art and science; the vast majority oblige training to have the capacity to recognize excellent candidates and subpar ones with interview skills.

Off the Track

Never ask queries off the cuff. Simply remain on the track. Going off the track can place you in legal troubles and it can be dangerous for sure. Simply remain focussed on getting some information about job and its profile. Be constrained in pushing forward with the candidate or it will cost you and your company a considerable measure.

Believing

Many leaders are excessively trusting while interviewing a candidate. Individuals in meetings regularly stretch the truth, let's be honest, they unashamedly deceive. Don't indiscriminately acknowledge a candidate's answers. Rather, ask follow-up questions with an end goal to figure out if they are lying.

The most compassionate act you can take when you understand you committed an error is to be transparent and fix your mistake rapidly.
