Responsibilities of Screening/Interview Team Members
Representing the District All District representatives need to make every effort to be inviting and
hospitable as each candidate is also evaluating members of the team as potential colleagues and the District as a place of employment. Candidates who have a good experience interviewing but who are ultimately unsuccessful in securing a position can be an important source of positive information concerning the District , their experience here and the desirability of working here.
Conducting yourselves in a professional manner at all times As a member of the screening/interview team you are expected to work
cooperatively and professionally with other members. This would include being on time for all sessions, respecting the process, respecting the opinions of others, being prepared and dressing appropriately for interview sessions.
Working collegially Collegiality consists of a shared decision making process and a set of values
which regard the members of the various district stakeholder groups as essential for the success of the hiring process. It incorporates mutual respect for similarities and for differences-in background, expertise, judgments, and assigned responsibilities; and involves mutual trust based on experience.
Respecting the confidentiality of the process As a member of the screening/interview committee for applicants for
vacant positions, you will have access to confidential information. The Kenmore-Tonawanda UFSD considers the entire screening/interview process to be confidential in nature, including any materials, ratings, questions/responses, comments and discussions, and recommendations made in connection with the screening/interviews.
Because of the confidentiality and sensitivity of the screening/interview process, you have an affirmative responsibility not to discuss or disclose any information relating to the screening/interviews to persons or parties who are not authorized to be privy to such information. Accordingly, your full cooperation in this matter will be appreciated.
Developing Consensus The interview process utilizes the consensus model for decision making.
Consensus is a decision-making process that fully utilizes the resources of a group.
P a g e | 10
It is more difficult and time consuming to reach than a democratic vote or an autocratic decision. Most issues will involve trade-offs and the various decision alternatives will not satisfy everyone. Complete unanimity is not the goal - that is rarely possible. However, it is possible for each individual to have had the opportunity to express their opinion, be listened to, and accept a group decision based on its logic and feasibility considering all relevant factors. This requires the mutual trust and respect of each team member.
A consensus decision represents a reasonable decision that all members of the group can accept. It is not necessarily the optimal decision for each member. When all the group members feel this way, you have reached consensus as we have defined it. This means that a single person can block consensus if he or she feels that it is necessary.
Here are some guidelines for reaching consensus:
1. Make sure everyone is heard from and feels listened to. Avoid arguing for yourown position. Present your position as clearly as possible. Listen to other teammembers’ reactions and comments to assess their understanding of yourposition. Consider their reactions and comments carefully before you press yourown point of view further.
2. Do not assume that someone must win and someone must lose when adiscussion reaches a stalemate. Instead, look for the next most acceptablealternatives for all parties. Try to think creatively. Explore what possibilities existif certain constraints were removed.
3. Do not change your mind simply to avoid conflict, to reach agreement, ormaintain harmony. When agreement seems to come too quickly or easily, besuspicious. Explore the reasons and be sure that everyone accepts the solutionfor basically similar or complementary reasons. Yield only to positions that haveobjective or logically sound foundations or merits.
4. Avoid conflict-reducing techniques such as majority vote, averaging, coin toss orbargaining. When dissenting members finally agree, do not feel that they have tobe rewarded or accommodated by having their own way on some later point.
5. Differences of opinion are natural and expected. Seek them out, value them, andtry to involve everyone in the decision process. Disagreements can improve thegroup's decision. With a wider range of information and opinions, there is agreater chance of that the group will hit upon a more feasible or satisfactorysolution.

Preparing Questions for the Interview
Preparing effective interview questions requires the district to understand the essential competencies of the position being filled. Once the job description and candidate profile have been completed, interview questions can be prepared. Questions need to be designed that will elicit the most useful information possible. Areas to explore include the experience of the candidate, how they might perform under hypothetical situations and how they performed in the past as an indicator of how they would perform in the future. Questions need to be carefully tailored to the job and the needs of the district. A question bank is located in the Preparing for the Interview section of the Hiring Guide. The question bank is more appropriately used as a starting point when developing interview questions. A given interview should have a balance of questions that will elicit the candidates, experience, beliefs, philosophy, and potential for the future and behavior under certain circumstances. Research has shown that certain types of questions provide more insight to a candidate’s potential and likelihood to succeed. Types of interview questions include:
Open Questions
Open questions encourage the flow of information. Questions usually begin with words like, What, Why, When, Where, Tell me about, or How and encourage an expansive response. Interviewees will usually respond well to an open question.
Example:
' What sort of work do you enjoy most'?'
'Tell me about the project you are currently involved in'
Closed Questions
Closed questions are direct and focused. Some think they should not be used as they only lead to 'yes' or 'no' answers, however these questions are useful for concluding and summarizing. They control the flow of information and are most effective in confirming information or slowing down a verbose candidate.
Example:
' Have you attended any conferences this year'?'
'Did you personally supervise any students?'
Probing Questions
Probing questions are used to follow up and obtain more detail. Their purpose is to draw out more information about specific points, aiming for depth rather than breadth of information.
Example:
‘You say you enjoyed your last project, which aspect of the work gave you the most satisfaction?'
'You say that you worked in a team, what was your main role as a member of that team?'
P a g e | 12
Leading Questions
Leading questions are directive and always indicate the preferred answer or telegraph the interviewer's opinion. These are not productive in obtaining depth or qualify of information.
Example:
‘You are willing to work every other Saturday morning aren't you?'
'I expect you prefer to work in a team'
Hypothetical Questions
Hypothetical questions are open in style and pose a 'What if...' scenario. They can be useful in analyzing knowledge, attitudes, reactions, creativity and speculative thinking. However, in setting a scene you need to be very careful that everyone would understand the basis of the question and the sub context of the scenario. For example, an applicant might think that the Professor should take precedence as they are a senior academic, whereas, in fact, the interviewer is looking for someone who can stand up to the academic and put the needs of the student first. Without long explanation of the situation candidates may not necessarily have a full understanding of what is required. This could particularly disadvantage applicants from outside the University, as they will not understand the internal culture and politics of the organization.
Example:
‘If another member of staff took credit for work you had done, what would you do?'
'If you were in the middle of doing something for a student and a Professor asked you to drop everything to help her, which would take priority?'
Multiple Questions
Multiple questions, as the name suggests, are several questions joined in a series. Their use should be limited, as they tend to confuse the interviewee, producing limited information.
It may be useful to combine questions requiring several repetitive factual responses, as in the example given opposite. This can avoid having to interrupt regularly with the same questions and gives the interviewee responsibility for covering all points.
Example:
' I want you to think about your skills in relation to Word-Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases and Email and rate your self against each as a) no knowledge, b) beginner, c)advanced user, d) expert.'
Linking Questions
A linking question will summarize and confirm correct understanding and make transitions to new subjects.
Example:
‘Thank you, I can see from your answer that you like working with people, can you tell me how you use this skill when you are working on the help desk?'
'It's interesting to hear that, on a related subject I'd like to ask....'
P a g e | 13
Behavioral Questions
Behavioral questions will seek advice from the past as an indicator of future performance. They are similar in nature to hypothetical questions in that they can measure knowledge, attitudes, reactions, creativity and thinking, but they do so on the basis of something the candidate has actually experienced and done.
Example:
‘Think of a time when you had to deal with someone who was angry. What techniques did you use to calm the situation?'
'When you are under pressure to meet a number of tight deadlines, what strategies do you use to manage your time effectively?'

The key to a good interview is to follow the 80/20 rule whenever possible according to author Martin Yate. “Ask questions 20% of the time and you will be able to listen 80% of the time.” It is always good practice to start off an interview with an open-ended question designed to have the candidate talk about some aspect of his/her life, career or experience. This is the so called ice breaker question.
Asking good questions is only half the task of the interviewer. Close attention must be paid to the answers, which is not always easy when you are half way through your fourth interview with two more people to see!
Here are some ideas for active listening and maintaining concentration:
Active, Attentive Listening
This is an important skill for interviewers to develop. Most of us have learned that it is quite difficult to listen when we are speaking, and therefore the first rule of effective listening is to stop talking. This includes talking to ourselves, particularly if you are thinking of what to say next.
Careful listening and analyzing of what is said and what is left unsaid are keys to being an effective interviewer. Remember this quote - 'I learn little when I am talking!'
Concentrate fully on the candidate and avoid other distractions. Make sure you have only the [application file] of the candidate you are seeing in front of you. Never look at another person's [application file] whilst you are interviewing. It can be distracting and is highly rude.
P a g e | 14
Summarize and Paraphrasing
Regularly summarizing what the candidate has said is an active listening skill that will not only clarify the content and ensure understanding but will keep you focused on the candidate.
Interviewers should paraphrase regularly to check that they have correctly heard and understood what has been said.
There are many possible barriers between the interviewer and the interviewee such as position, education, experience, status, age, gender, race etc. All have a bearing on how individuals will interpret information. Repeating what we have heard will check any perception distortions that may have occurred. This process also reassures the candidate that you are interested and involved in what they have to say.
Approach and Style
The interviewer's approach and style of questioning should establish rapport, put the candidate at ease and show genuine interest. The attitude should be fair and equitable, reinforcing and supporting, reflecting empathy or the ability to understand the other's feelings from his or her perspective. Put candidates at ease: Interviewing can be stressful, so do your best to help candidates relax. Make sure each candidate is greeted and escorted, if necessary, to the interview location. Start with low-key questions. Don't judge on first impressions: We've all met them-- people who don't make a great first impression but end up being great employees. To make sure you don't overlook these diamonds in the rough, withhold judgment until you've had the chance to thoroughly evaluate a candidate's capabilities and potential.

Questions Employers Should Not Ask
Federal and state laws prohibit prospective employers from asking certain questions that are not related to the job they are hiring for. Questions should be job-related and not used to find out personal information.
In a nutshell, employers should not be asking about your race, gender, religion, marital status, age, disabilities, ethnic background, country of origin, sexual preferences or age.
Illegal Interview Questions Employers should not ask about any of the following, because to not hire a candidate because of any one of them is discriminatory:
Race Color Sex Religion National origin Birthplace Age Disability Marital/family status
