      "I have limited experience hiring people. I've directly hired 2 people and they are still in those roles even though I left. I clearly defined the roles I was looking for and asked direct questions. They were hired on a temp basis for 2 weeks after performing well we offered them full-time positions."

      Stephanie's Feedback

      Since the interview is really an opportunity to "pitch" yourself, your professional experiences, and the value that you'll add to this company, I suggest eliminating the fact that you've only hired two people. There is no need to be humble! The reality is that you do have hiring experience, whether that involved two people or two hundred. So, what qualities do you look for? Clearly, you picked good people since they performed well and were hired on as full-time workers!
