Best China interviewingBest China interviewing methods are needed when cross culturally trying to make placements. Thus, we have researched more and worked hard to do best interviewing.  At baseline, you must start with experiential interviewing. There are a few reasons for this.

The first is that the other option is to tell about their plans for the future.  In some positions this aspect could be useful, but this must not be the main thing.    Asking candidates about future plans often leads to unrealistic answers, as theoretical ideas rarely translate into actual abilities. So, it is no use to get their future of what they plan to do. They likely cannot do.

Knowing what they actually have done is the most powerful predictor of future performance. Dig for what they have done. Focus on their specific experiences.

Furthermore, how can you verify what they plan to do or if he or she will execute? You cannot. You can, however, verify what they have done.  Then, you can have good confidence of what they will do.

Best China Interviewing Needs the Right Thinking and Attitude

So, ask about their experience doing the kind of work the client needs done.  Ask for the details. Ask what they specifically did. Get them to say “I did…” Many will suddenly say “We did…” Stop them. You need to know what he or she personally did and how they succeeded.  Many will avoid and talk in generalities. Don’t allow it. You can know how they work and what they can do for you by finding out the details of what they personally did.   Also, find out how they thought, and how they sought or did not seek help in these instances. Get inside their head to find out why they did what they say they did.

Also, ask them how they learned to be the person they are at work. Candidates who can name people who helped them and further can say even where they failed are the best candidates you can find.

Dig and learn about these people you interview. Draw out their stories and make them feel safe by your tone, curiosity and deep questions. Most people start to calm down and open up when someone takes an interest in them.  Your interest and curiosity will help you get them to tell you everything. If they refuse to talk details or answer what they did, then run from such candidates.  Candidates who are unwilling to provide detailed answers are not the window you need in China. You need someone who is open and not a wall who will not tell you what they did.
