With US employment rates at the lowest rate in 50 years, it is more important than ever to provide a positive candidate experience. Remember you are interviewing the candidate, but they are interviewing you as well.

Here are 5 tips to impress your candidate during the interview:

Be prepared to discuss their background.
Make them feel welcomed and valued.
Do not stick to a specific set of questions.
Identify what the candidate is looking for and how they can find it.
If things do not work out, keep in touch.

Remember impressed candidates will be much more likely to recommend you to other prospects or possibly return for another interview down the road.
