What qualities do you look for when hiring new team members?

As an Assistant Manager, you may have hiring responsibilities. Depending on the structure of the hiring company you might sit in on interviews, sort through resumes, or give your opinion on the suitability of hires, alongside your manager or HR team. The interviewer would like to know more about the type of employees that you tend to hire or lean towards.

Think of the attributes that are most valuable for a team to possess, specifically in the industry of the hiring company.

These qualities may include:

- Trustworthiness
- Accountability
