Reverse Interview Questions

Questions candidates can ask about work, culture, delivery, and the company they might join.

The idea to take with you

The questions a strong candidate asks are also a useful audit of what your organization has failed to explain.

How to use it

  1. 01

    Prepare concrete answers about how work and decisions happen.

  2. 02

    Make space for candidate questions during the interview.

  3. 03

    Use the list to uncover missing information in the job description and candidate pack.

Keep in mind

A question bank, not a script to administer in full. Select questions that change the decision for the role in question.
