Here's the reason why this HR expert began sending job interview questions in advance.

Interviews can be nerve-wracking as you aim to be both personable and prepared to give intelligent answers to your interviewer's questions on the spot.

Holly Taylor recently made the decision to eliminate guesswork from the hiring process for her team.

Unlike most hiring managers, Taylor provided job candidates with the interview questions prior to the interview.

'That's something that you really need to go away and consider'

Taylor, with a decade of experience in HR, is the head of people at Public Digital, a London-based digital transformation consulting company.

She aimed to implement an unconventional approach during the recruitment process to promote a more inclusive interview procedure.

Before their interviews, she sent each candidate a message with details about the panel discussion format, a case study to consider, bios of the panel members, and the questions they would be asked.

Taylor experienced immediate advantages: She could pose more insightful questions and convey the company's culture to candidates more effectively.

For example, one question she asked was:

Taylor believes that asking a completely cold question in an interview is unfair because it requires the candidate to go away and consider it before answering.

The context of the question can provide candidates with a sense of what it's like to work at the company and its values.

By setting those values beforehand, candidates can be attracted to them. It also allows prospects to reflect on and showcase their past experiences in embodying those values.

Being quick on your feet isn't everything

Hiring managers are hesitant to provide questions in advance because they want to assess a candidate's ability to think quickly on their feet.

Is the ability to think on your feet truly undervalued, she asks?" "Even when faced with uncertainty and lacking an immediate response, what do you do? You respond, 'I don't have the answer at the moment, but if you can give me some time, I'll get back to you.'

"That just comes down to stakeholder management," Taylor says.

Taylor argues that being able to think on one's feet does not necessarily equate to being skilled at one's job. While quick thinking may not necessarily translate to quick action or high-quality work, it is still an important skill to have.

Taylor inquired about each job candidate's thoughts on receiving the interview questions ahead of time.

They appreciated the method because it allowed them to reflect on their answers.

Although another believed that their quick thinking allowed them to handle the questions without hindrance, they ultimately did not receive the job due to their underdeveloped and insubstantial answers in comparison to their peers.

"Taylor stated that despite all the candidates being informed, the answers' quality varied significantly."

Taylor made it clear that candidates should anticipate follow-up questions from the panel that went beyond the prepared list. According to Taylor, job interviews are most effective when there are numerous questions exchanged between all parties involved.

Taylor emphasizes the importance of setting someone up for success in an interview by embracing different thinking styles in the workplace.

Taylor says that this method helped her and her team feel confident in hiring the right person for the job, and she hopes to make it a standard practice for job interviews in her company moving forward.
