165: Tactical Tuesday - It's An Interview, Not An Interrogation ft. Vivien Maron

In this Tactical Tuesday episode, Sam and Vivien discuss effective recruitment strategies — focusing on building trust with candidates, structuring conversations, and understanding candidate motivations.

Candidates won't open up and be as transparent if they feel like they can't trust you — which is why building true rapport is more important than almost any other aspect of an interview. Treating an interview like an interrogation is an easy way to ensure you never get to know the real person on the other side of the phone or screen.

Throughout this conversation, Sam and Vivien emphasize the importance of authenticity and human connection in recruitment, providing practical tips for recruiters to engage candidates more effectively and help connect them to the right job opportunities.
