What are some other fun interview icebreakers I can use to engage candidates?
Creating an engaging interview bet can help set a fun and relaxed atmosphere while also adding an element of excitement to the interview process. Here’s a suggestion that combines a playful challenge with insightful conversation:
Interview Bet: “Two Truths and a Lie – Career Edition”
Overview:
At the beginning of the interview, explain the concept of “Two Truths and a Lie” and how it relates to the candidate’s career journey. The candidate will share three statements about their professional experiences—two of which are true, and one that is a lie. The interviewer will then guess which statement is the lie.
Steps:
- Introduce the Bet:
– “To kick things off and make this interview a bit more engaging, I’d love to play a quick game of ‘Two Truths and a Lie’ with you, but with a twist focused on your career. This will help us get to know each other better and add a fun element to our conversation!”
- Prepare the Candidate:
– Give the candidate a moment to think. They should come up with two true statements and one false statement about their work history, skills, or achievements.
- Share and Guess:
– The candidate shares their three statements in any order. After they finish, the interviewer has a guess about which statement is the lie. The interviewer can ask clarifying questions about the statements before making their guess.
- Reveal and Discuss:
– Once the interviewer guesses (or if they ask for hints, encourage discussion), the candidate reveals which statement was the lie. This can lead to interesting discussions, allowing the candidate to elaborate on their experiences and revealing insights into their personality and professional journey.
- Reflect:
– After the game, the interviewer can discuss the implications of the truths shared, such as skills that stand out or interesting experiences that may relate to the position being filled.
Benefits:
- Breaks the ice and eases nerves for both parties.
- Encourages storytelling and personal reflection.
- Engages the interviewer and provides insights into the candidate’s personality and creativity.
- Sets a light and fun tone for the remainder of the interview.
Remember, the goal is to keep it enjoyable while still assessing the candidate’s skills and fit for the role!
