Dedrick, The SWOT analysis is an interesting approach. So much of an effective interview is dependent on a well written job description. With a good job description, you can construct interview questions that will help to determine whether a candidate is right for your vacant position. Many companies will also do various assessments of the candidates to make certain they have the necessary qualities for the position. We have profiled successful employees against which we measure candidates. They must score a minimum level to be considered. This assessment is looking at various traits including their motivational drive, their management style, their, work style, their ability to influence, etc. This is determined through an interview with an outside consulting firm. It provides an assessment that you would not normally get through a regular interview. Dr. Patricia Kapper
