Highlights: 

02:37 – I feel like I’m in the position where I`m growing skills and knowledge.

06:18 – No situation is exactly the same, so the 1st thing that I do once we have a qualified candidate, is we always include the manager in those conversations.

08:55 – In the interview questions, sometimes there`s questions that we cannot ask our candidates and I feel like that is really my job as the talent acquisition manager of this whole process. So, I provide the manager with interview questions.

11:29 – Sometimes it happens really quickly, sometimes it happens within their first three months of their employment and it really depends on the position.

21:28 – I think with interviewing, just to remember that it's so easy to get into that rut and to recognize that they are interviewing you as much as you`re interviewing them.
