An interview committee (usually two people) is created each time we are hiring for a position. They are tasked with meeting and interviewing promising candidates for a position, and making recommendations to staff. Members of the interview committee are nominated by the [[hr]] group and approved by staff.

The report and recommendation of the interview committee will be presented at a staff meeting, and they should be prepared to present reasoning and pros and cons of each top candidate. A top three is a common practice.

==Tasks of the interview committee:==
* Determine how many interviews you will be able to do, and if this is fewer than the number of applicants, inform the [[thinning committee]] (or, if one hasn't been formed, [[hr]]).
* Compose questions that will elicit information about the candidate's experience and personality. Post them to the staff list, and make sure there's a copy in the hiring folder of the [[fgstaff directory]]. (If it's a position we have hired for before, there may already be questions you can use in that directory.)
* Block out time for interviews.
* Schedule interviews.
* Keep notes.
* Make a well-supported recommendation to the staff.
* Contact the staff's first choice with a job offer. If they are no longer interested, contact the second choice.
* Contact those who were not chosen and let them know it isn't personal (unless it is)
* Disband. Have a beer.
