Hiring candidates who will work from home involves some special care. The abilities required to be effective in a work from home setting go beyond the traditional office setting. We’ve put together our favorite questions to help you assess the level of required skills so you can better understand the developmental support that your candidate will need from you as his or her leader.
For an additional explanation about why we recommend these questions and their specific usefulness, please watch the video below.
1. Do you have a preference for working in an office or working from home?
2. When it comes to working remotely, what are the specific things that you find beneficial?
3. What do you find to be more difficult about working from home versus in a traditional office setting?
4. How do you organize yourself?
5. Tell me about a time when communication broke down within your team. What happened? What did you do in response? In retrospect, what do you think you could have to have avoided the communication breakdown?
