A
great way to ensure smooth teamwork is to involve your existing team in
hiring decisions. Remember that in most cases your existing team will be
working closest with new hires. Involving them in finding the right
candidate can make the process of adding a new team member much easier.
Have your team conduct the final interview. This meeting should be kept
relaxed and informal so you can see how the team and the candidate
interact with one another and how the candidate behaves when they are not
'on guard' so to speak.
Sit
in if you wish, but let the team take the lead. To make it easier for
them, provide them with a list of suggested questions and have them use
that as a 'cheat sheet'. Your more reserved team members will feel more
comfortable, and you'll be sure that a variety of questions are asked
during the course of the interview.
