Department of Labor Approved Interview Questions
|
The interviewing process can be a legal and practical nightmare if not approached carefully. A seemingly innocuous interview question may actually be inappropriate or even illegal, and may culminate in a costly discrimination lawsuit. Such a situation can easily be avoided by using appropriate job interview questions.
An employer must ensure job interview questions are in alignment with the law. The variety of job interview questions an employer can ask is wide and contingent upon the specific needs of a particular position. |

| Sample Interview Questions |
Novice and experienced interviewers are sometimes unsure of the best questions to ask candidates in an interview. While sample interview questions can help, having specific questions to ask a particular candidate, makes the process even more effective.
Profiles International offers pre-employment assessments designed to help an employer best match candidates to positions. Once a candidate submits their answers to the Profiles International online assessment, the employer is provided with a detailed, Department of Labor approved, set of recommended interview questions to ask a candidate in their next job interview.
These questions are customized based on the candidate’s individual responses to the assessment. |

"We screen applicants and then use the Step One Survey II. We specifically look at integrity, attitudes about substance abuse, reliability, and work ethic. Next, we go to the Profile XT, which helps with questions to ask in subsequent interviews. We've used these products for a while and will revisit them in future recruiting."

"I've been receiving very important feedback from the Step One SurveyTM screening program. It has enabled me to learn insightful information prior to employment about an individual’s attitudes as they relate to honesty/integrity, substance abuse, reliability and work ethic that ordinarily wouldn't be discovered until after someone is employed – then it's too late! Also, the direct admission portion provides open-ended interview questions that make the interview more structured and effective."
