Hi There, I'm Kristy-Lee, and I've been supporting small business with all things hiring, managing and keeping people for the last 20 years.
In this time I have conducted literally tens of thousands of interviews with job applicants, and I've learnt a thing or two about how to determine if they want the role, have the skills, will fit in with the team and actually stick around long term.
One thing I know for sure is this: the quality of the questions you ask at interview is directly related to the success of your hiring decisions.
