I m working as HR Executive in an IT company. I have to recruit a HR Head for our company ASAP. I have to just line up the interviews for the same, interview will be taken by our CEO, as I am going to talk with my future boss so i m in dilemma what question should I ask at first interaction over phone? Should I ask are u looking for job change only & schedule the interview accordingly or I need to ask some more questions? Kindly help me out.

if you r taking telephonic interview of your future boss, then i will say u have a good option to chose your boss. you can select him jd wise and background verification wise, it s good chance to select the right candidate for our bright future.

Great opportunity to interview your future boss. Do you job the way you should do. Be professional in your approach. Keep JD & questions to ask handy cos these will be of great help while you are on phone. It's a great opportunity to impress your future boss - something which he/she will remember for years. Do not be passive or hesitation.

its quite simple just forget that you are interviewing your would be boss...you must have JD to proceed...ask normal questions you ask with other candidates....general HR questions off course exp. can be checked by seniors...you need to take care of HR things carefully as they dont ask theses questions while taking intrw..such as time required in joining.personal information why is leaving from current company...exp. documents compensation info....etc...
