What to consider when interviewing

In this guide, our recruitment team look at job interview techniques and considerations relevant to 2025. Design and conduct interviews that help you source the best professionals for your business. 

Conduct inclusive interviews

Candidates who belong to marginalised groups are more likely to be excluded, which means you might miss out on exceptional talent. Learn how to identify system and interviewer bias, so you can minimise them.

Learn which questions to ask

There are four styles of interview questions: Skills, Motivational, Behavioural and Situational. We’ve provided examples of each and demonstrate how they can be put together for an effective interview.

Consider candidate questions

Like you, job applicants are also researching how to impress in job interviews. We’ve therefore compiled a list of questions job seekers are advised to ask employers in a job interview, so you’re not caught off guard.

Understand what you can’t ask

With so many changes to the Fair Work Act in recent years, some hiring managers may have missed the introduction of new protected attributes in 2022. We provide guidance on what you can’t ask.

Stay informed with Acclaimed Insights

Acclaimed Workforce is committed to providing employers, HR professionals and Hiring Managers with insights and updates from the world of work. Each month we’ll deliver up-to-date information that matters to you, including important changes to workplace relations, hiring and workforce management resources and company news.
