Ans. : Fifth step of the interview process is wrapping up.
Closing out an interview is just as important as the other stages. Just as having a great first impression is important, leaving the candidate feeling good about the company and its culture is key to hiring the top talent in your industry.
At the very least, always end the interview with a handshake and thank the candidate for their time. It is also a good idea to give them a quick tour of the office if you didn’t do that when they first came in. Be sure to walk the candidate out. Not only does this ensure they don’t get their nose into anything they aren’t supposed to, it can be very frustrating and embarrassing as a candidate to have to mindlessly wander the office trying to remember where the exit is.
Last but not least, send a follow up email. Whether you are interested in the candidate or not it is important to be courteous and thankful that somebody took time out of their day to interview at your company. Candidates can leave a bad review of the interview process on Glassdoor, so be sure everybody walks away from your interview process feeling respected.
