-You are performing interviews.
-All applicants are being considered for the same position and are on a level playing field.
-You ask each applicant the same question.

What do you ask them?





And for the record, this isn't for my homework. It's for a co-workers homework.

What are the attributes you admired in your favorite manager/boss.

Hire the guy who clearly isn't talking about anyone at the current company.

What are your social media handles for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram?

Then pull up their information right in front of them. If it's locked down and you can't see anything, they are hired.

To find out about organization skills: "describe for me how you manage your workflow and stay on top of tasks."

I like to hear that they use calendar objects and alerts prodigiously, prioritize items and plan as needed, and that they have some kind of note-taking system.

Even if it's yellow stickies, something to show they're not just doing whatever's on the top of their head/inbox at any given moment.

I would ask the applicant to define the word "work." I used this for many years and it was truly effective. I witnessed a few seemingly qualified folks almost break down due to their inability to communicate and think on their feet.
