Closing the Interview

  • Ask whether the candidate has anything more to tell you about his candidacy or any questions about the job/employer.
  • Explain the next step in the process, including whether there will be further interviews, when you will make your decision, and how the candidate will be informed of your decision.
  • Thank the candidate for interviewing for the position.
  • Complete your notes and/or rating sheets immediately; don't rely on your memory.
  • Decide whether the candidate meets, exceeds, or does not meet the requirements.
  • Prepare for your next interview.
