This PPT slide, part of the 13-slide Designing and Delivering Focus Interviews PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured checklist designed for interviewers, emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation and execution during interviews. The content is divided into 3 main sections: Preparation of the Interview, Execution of the Interview - Introduction, and Execution of the Interview - Close. This segmentation aids interviewers in systematically addressing critical components of the interview process.

In the Preparation section, the checklist prompts interviewers to confirm logistical details, such as the location and start time, and to verify the identity and position of the interviewee. These steps are crucial for establishing a professional environment and ensuring that all parties are aligned before the interview begins.

The Introduction phase focuses on establishing rapport and clarity. Interviewers are encouraged to introduce themselves, explain the interview's purpose, and confirm the interviewee's role and availability. This sets the stage for a productive dialogue and ensures that the interviewee understands the context and expectations.

The Close section emphasizes the importance of concluding the interview effectively. Interviewers are advised to finish with an open question to encourage further dialogue, clarify any next steps, and express gratitude to the interviewee. This approach not only fosters goodwill, but also reinforces the value of the interviewee's insights.

Overall, this checklist serves as a practical guide for interviewers, ensuring that they cover essential aspects of the interview process. It promotes a disciplined approach to conducting interviews, which can enhance the quality of information gathered and ultimately lead to better decision-making. For organizations looking to refine their interview techniques, this checklist is a valuable resource.
