About us

At Practice Placements, we focus on the personal and human touch.

A candidate may have all the necessary qualifications, but if their

values do not align with those of the company, it may not be

a good fit in the long run.

We know it's important to recognize that finding the right fit

goes beyond just checking off a list of qualifications and experience.

Soft skills, such as communication, collaboration, and adaptability,

are just as important in ensuring a successful relationship

between an employee and employer.

We strive to understand both the employer and

the candidates' personality, work style, and

career/business goals to ensure

a good match.

Interviewing tips

Typically, people are not explicitly taught how to conduct an interview. As a result, we tend

to replicate the interviews we have experienced ourselves.

It is often the case that we remember the interviews where we were able to showcase our

experience and personality the best. If you reflect on your past interviews, you may recall the

interview that stood out the most in this regard.

We have put together a list of tips that you can use:

1. Create a comfortable and welcoming environment for the interview, and try to put the candidate at ease.
   
2. Clearly define the job requirements and the skills and qualifications necessary for the position.
   
3. Thoroughly review the candidate's resume and application materials before the interview.
   
4. Prepare a list of questions that are relevant to the job and that will help you assess the candidate's qualifications and fit for the role.
   
5. Be on time and respectful.
   
6. Use active listening skills during the interview to understand the candidate's responses and to ask follow-up questions.
   
7. Use behavioral interview questions to ask the candidate about past experiences and how they have handled certain situations in the past.
   
8. Allow time for the candidate to ask questions about the job, the company, and the interview process.
   
9. Take notes during the interview to help you remember the candidate's responses and to make an informed decision.
   
10. End the interview by thanking them for their time and give them a timeline as to when you will be able to provide feedback to us on their application.
