Interview Stage - After you've gotten candidates past their initial testing stage we now need to interview those candidates. This can be done through a platform or through skype. If you're just interested in completing a small task or project then this stage isn't necessarily needed but if you're looking for a longer term hire it's critical. You're looking for a few critical things.

- Do they have their own computer, stable internet?

- Do you hear background noise in the call? If so they might be working out of an internet cafe which usually won't work.

- Are they confident in their answers? Can they speak english properly (critical if you're having them write content or interacting with customers).

Possible questions to ask:

• Can you tell me about your work experience? How do you think (x) could help you with the position we're offering?
• How do you deal with working independently? Can you give me an example of when you had to make a decision independent of management and how it turned out?
• Can you give me some examples of how you took action on something? How did it turn out?
• Do you have experience working in virtual teams? How do you like working virtually vs working in an office?
• Telling people they're wrong if you believe they are is really important to us. Can you give me an example of when you told your boss/manager they were wrong? How did that work out?
• Can you tell me three things you'd think you can make better at (company/website).
