Demeanor matters Remember how your mom always said, "It's not what you say, but how you say it? " You can apply that same logic to the interview setting. How a candidate asks questions and interacts with you is just as important as the questions themselves. Are they interrupting you, talking nonstop or high-jacking the conversation? Are they giving you their full attention, or are they playing with their phone instead of listening to your answers? Do they seem evasive or look away frequently when speaking with you? You can gain important clues about a candidate's suitability for your culture by paying attention to body language and other subtle signs. For instance, a well-prepared candidate should be able to talk about their job history without looking at their résumé. Likewise, a socially adept prospect will let you retain control of the interview, maintain eye contract and ask appropriate questions at the appropriate time. Knowing what to listen for in a candidate's questions (and look for in their demeanor) can help you identify the best person for the job.
