A job interviewer typically works on behalf of an employment agency or service and matches job applicants with potential employers. As the job title suggests, the interviewer usually conducts one or more initial interviews with the candidate in order to match the candidate with one or more suitable employers. In addition to conducting job interviews, the job interviewer may also be responsible for background checks on job applicants and providing basic advice and advice to job applicants. The job interviewer may also work with employers in an effort to develop a good idea of what type of job applicants the employer is looking for.
Many employers prefer to work with agencies or employment services while they are recruiting candidates for job openings. Employment agencies, in turn, employ interviewers who work with new job applicants to determine whether they are a good fit for the agency’s clients. In public employment agencies, job interviewers may have to play a more important role with candidates who may be seeking employment through public agencies because they are currently unemployed or having difficulty finding work through other channels. For example, a public agency job interviewer may need to work with a candidate on interviewing skills and proper dress and conduct during the job search process.
Other job interviewer duties may include administering skills assessment tests to job applicants, checking references, and working with applicants to update their resumes. The interviewer will also act as a liaison between a job seeker and an employer, informing the employer of a specific candidate’s skills and qualifications. In some cases, the interviewer may also arrange employer-candidate interviews. As a general rule, a job interviewer only conducts the first one or two interviews with a candidate. If the candidate appears to be a good candidate, the employer will take over the interview process until a final hiring decision is made.
Qualifications to become a job interviewer can vary, but generally require an undergraduate degree, as well as some experience in human resources or personnel administration. Other individuals who may qualify to work as a job interviewer include those with experience in career counseling or vocational rehabilitation programs. If the interviewer works for an agency or organization that serves a specific population, such as individuals with disabilities, they may also receive additional training in the needs and issues that affect that population.
