Practice

How the panel should run

The same discipline we use when sitting on a client interview.

Build rapport: A composed room helps candidates show the work they can actually do.
Use structured questions: Ask the same core questions so every candidate is assessed on the same brief.
Score against the role: Look for evidence against the job, not a general impression of the person.
Keep time: A timed panel respects the candidate and the rest of the schedule.

Law

Keep the interview on the brief. Questions about age, family or religion have no place unless the role itself requires them.

01
Avoid questions about age, gender, religion or family status that are not job-related.
02
Stay on qualifications, experience and the requirements written in the brief.
03
Give every candidate the same process.
04
Document decisions with reasons that can be inspected later.
05
Follow organisation policy and Kenyan employment law.
06
Keep candidate information confidential.
