While conducting research for a webcast on the topic of best practice interviewing techniques, I came across a list of Red Flags (courtesy of Tech Republic) that interviewers should be aware of. The lesson here is that interviewers should focus on uncovering "evidence" of a candidate´s success.

7 Interview Red Flags

1)      Candidate is big on adjectives but can´t back them up

2)      Your questions take the candidate by surprise

3)      Candidate has no "weaknesses"?

4)      Candidate can´t tell you the most crucial function of his job

5)      Interviewee says her present company "offers no room for growth"

6)      Candidate can´t articulate why he wants to work for your company

7)      Candidate´s references can´t offer specific details on job performance
