Have you ever been responsible for or a part of the hiring process for new employees in an anesthesia department? If so, what qualities did you look for in a candidate? Do you feel like you possess those qualities?

"Yes, I currently help screen the CVs for CRNA's that we consider for hire on our team and take part in the interview process. I love talking about our practice to sell them on coming to work for us. If hired here, I would love to continue to be a part of the hiring process for new staff. I look for candidates who have a patient-centered focus, integrity, and respect."

Talk openly and honestly about any parts of the candidate interview and hiring processes you have been part of in the past. This can include reviewing candidate resumes/CVs, phone interviewing, interviewing in person, and selecting candidates for offer. Talk about the qualities you look for in candidates. If you want to see certain characteristics in your peers, you should be able to tell the interviewer with confidence that you possess those traits, as well. It's also important to note that interviewers often use this question to distinguish sincerity in the candidate.
