I'd agree with Bagus, it is so important to cover the dreaded counter offer questions. "What would you do if your current company offered you an extra few thousand to stay?" is one I always used in telephone pre-screening. Using it face to face is even better as you can read a person's reaction better.

<p>One that I use often not yet mention is - Is there anyone else in your decision process that I need to be aware of?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most of my placements call for relocation so if I don;t have significant other on board it could be a lot of work for nothing.</p>

<p>My favourite question at the end of the interview or in the middle, when you have built a good and relax atmosphere is:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>" Is there any question that I haven´t asked you and you would liked to be asked about it"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It helps the candidate to talk about things that he prepared for the interview, and for differents subjects</p>

<p>The most helpful question I've asked is also one of the simplest, "what are your favorite aspects of your current job and what are your least?"followed by "what is most important to you in your next position?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This allows you to present them with a job that they will be excited about, and will really move for, vs. taking a counter-offer....which you can generally count on if money is the most important reason for looking.</p>

<p>The question I always ask somewhere between the middle and end of the interview is posed in two different ways "if your manager could change one thing about you, what would they change?" and the follow up "if you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change?". Keep in mind the questions are asked in the context of the interview so I'm neither looking for nor do I typically receive comments of a non work related nature.</p>

<p>The questions give me good feedback on 1) what is it that this person's current manager feels they could improve or do better and 2) how self aware is the candidate. Additionally, since I'm forming a view during the interview the questions either reinforce that view, or drive me to a new line of qustioning (assuming they refute the view I was forming).</p> This is my Favorite question,…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2011-09-12:502551:Comment:13948832011-09-12T10:26:12.134ZBagus Hendrayonohttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/BagusHendrayono
<p>This is my Favorite question, i usually ask this at the end of the interview session ;</p>
<p>Should we secure a job offering for you, and because of that, your company is offering you a good counter offer package. Where will be your standing at ?</p>
<p>Because its pointless to process a candidates if they cant committed with the process, it will completely a time waster.</p>

<p>A question that I always use; Have you any experience of Headhunters or Recruiters in the past, good or bad?</p>
<p>This gives you the chance to explain who you are, how you operate and to deal with any preconceived ideas or bad experiences, the candidate may have faced before. It's a good trust tool.</p>
