Commenting on the skills involved in interviewing, Mike Harris says; ìYou look for slightly different things in a candidate if youíre interviewing for small start up companies than if youíre recruiting for a large company, but for me the fundamental principles are the same. When Iím interviewing Iím always looking to ascertain whether the candidate is going to fit in and add to the talent and energy of the team theyíre joining and the wider culture of the company. I also need to find out whether they have the skills and experience weíre looking for. I think preparation for interviews is crucial in being able to impress on the day and thatís why Iím delighted to be part of BeMyInterviewer and to have a role in helping candidates prepare for interview by providing a unique insight into the interview process.î
