Interview Questions, Part One of Five

Finding the right candidate is a difficult process. An employer can greatly reduce the likelihood of hiring the wrong candidate just by asking the right interview questions. Below is a sample of questions one might ask to understand an individual’s integrity/honesty or trustworthiness.


• Discuss a time when your integrity was challenged.  How did you handle it?
 
• What would you do if someone asked you to do something unethical?
 
• Have you ever experienced a loss for doing what is right?
 
• Have you ever asked for forgiveness for doing something wrong?
 
• In what business situations do you feel honesty would be inappropriate?
 
• If you saw a co-worker doing something dishonest, would you tell your boss?  What would you do about it?
