Be very careful about how you ask certain questions during the Interview Process.
Where do you live? Sounds simple enough but asking a candidate where they live is illegal because it could be interpreted as a way to discriminate based on their location. A better way to phrase the questions is to ask them if they are willing to relocate?

Be very careful about how you ask certain questions during the Interview Process.
What was the nature of your military discharge? Asking why a military veteran was discharged is illegal. However, employers can ask what type of education, training or work experience a candidate received while in the military.

Be very careful about how you ask certain questions during the Interview Process.
Are you a U.S. citizen? While you can ask if a candidate is legally eligible for employment in the U.S., it’s illegal to ask about citizenship or national origin.

Things to do back at the office…Know Your Numbers 1. Go over all of your numbers and find a format to keep
track of them; Excel, SalesForce, Jibe, Taleo. 2. Develop a monthly reporting mechanism to help you keep
track of recruiting. Determine the frequency of other KPI reports (Monthly, Quarterly, Annually)
3. Share monthly reports with your entire firm! 4. Try to focus on these metrics for optimum results: Sourcing,
Interviewing, Hiring, and Team Performance Management.

Mark Zweig’s Tips for Recruitment Success
1. Write a good offer. 2. Don’t give the candidate forever to make
their decision. 3. Ask the candidate how he/she will
respond to a counteroffer, should one be made (and it probably will be!).

4. If the candidate tells you they’ll accept but want to wait until they turn their notice in to their boss, discourage that.
5. Always get a backup candidate. 6. If someone turns down your job offer,
ask them why.
