What does a strong candidate show?
Identify thoughtful communicators who ask the right questions and follow through. Look for specific evidence of the essential skills rather than a polished presentation alone.
- Qualify opportunities
- Handle objections
- Follow up thoughtfully
A job-relevant follow-up
Read a prospect brief and draft an opening message that connects one relevant need to the offer.
Share the instructions and scoring criteria before the task. Keep it short and avoid asking candidates for unpaid commercial work.
A question worth asking
How would you respond when a prospect says they are interested but gives no next step?
Ask the same core question of every candidate, then follow up on the evidence they give. Make accommodations available.
