INTERACTIVE INTERVIEW TOOL

Page Title: IIT Interactive Interview Tool Section: "WOW" Factors / Effects

• A databank of 15,000+ Interview Questions (for nearly every Skill / Function / Knowledge Area)
• A databank of 60,000+ Keywords (on every imaginable subject / topic)
• Click on any Keyword in a candidate's resume to pop-up / present:
• 10/15 related / associated keywords
• 5/50 Interview Questions
• What good is an Interview Question, unless you know the Answer too? No problem!
• Click on any keyword to get detailed write-up / definition on that subject. Now you don't have to be a subject expert before asking a question (any question) to a candidate.
• Click on [Google find] to check-out on a candidate's background. If anybody is somebody, Google ought to know!

• How much does the candidate know about your company? If he/she is looking for a senior-level position with you, he/she ought to know quite a lot. Click on button [Company Profile] to display details about your company. NOW ask him what he knows. Most candidates never bother to find out anything about their prospective employer. But a serious candidate would have done a lot of homework before appearing for interview.
• Say you are interviewing a candidate for the position of "Materials Manager". Does he know what would he need to handle? What will be his responsibilities? Just click on button [Job Description] to display job-role / what would be expected of him, should you decide to offer him this job. It is better not to leave anything vague / unsaid / implied, only to regret later!

• When you use IIT, it does not matter whether the candidate is sitting in front of you or you are interviewing him over phone, 10,000 miles away—with IIT on your computer screen distance becomes irrelevant. As soon as the candidate comes on your phone-line, just enter his PEN (Permanent Executive Number) in the IIT and start the interview.
• IIT contains an online Candidate Assessment (CA) page. Even as you are interviewing, you can start ticking your assessment/evaluation of that candidate on CA page. It is best to record your impression (about various attributes of the candidate), when it is fresh/vivid/live. You can even make some preliminary assessment to begin with—then change it as you ask more questions as the interview proceeds. Only, once you click [SUBMIT] at the end of the interview, you cannot change anything.

• At the end of the interview, you can email CA (Candidate Assessment) page to anyone.
• If anyone from your Organisation has ever interviewed that candidate earlier, IIT will alert you! In such an event, you can view:
• Who interviewed this person earlier
• When
• What was that Assessment
• —even if he was interviewed by your distant branch office/factory, 5 years back!
• For multi-locational companies, this "Interview History" of each & every candidate is a great advantage.

Dear HR Manager / Headhunter:

When you conduct an interview, there is no doubt you frequently refer to the candidate's resume—most likely a printout. Once-in-a-while, a keyword catches your attention and you ask a related question.

However, what happens more frequently is:

• You fail to notice all the Keywords, which describe that candidate's ASK (Attitude-Skills-Knowledge). Often you notice these keywords after the interview is over and the candidate has left!
• Even when you do notice an interesting Keyword, you cannot think-up of the right/appropriate... [continues to Scan_0006]

...question to ask, in a couple of seconds.

• Even when your Interview-Panel Colleague manages to ask a keyword-relevant question, you cannot make out whether the Candidate's answer is correct/right!

Obviously, that resume print-out which you are holding in your hand:

• cannot "shout-out" the ASK keywords!
• cannot "suggest/recommend" relevant questions for asking!
• cannot "whisper" the right answers in your ear!

In short, a resume print-out cannot engage with you in a dialogue. You could as well be reading Dead-Sea-Scrolls. But our Interactive Interview Tool (IIT) transforms a plain text resume into Profiles. IIT also transforms YOU into the most thorough/systematic/scientific interviewer east of Suez! In case of doubt, read WOW Factors.
