  • "To assess soft skills in the recruitment process, it’s highly effective to present candidates with real-life situations that you or your team have previously encountered. Instead of relying on generic situational questions, provide specific examples with ample context.

    Encourage candidates to share their problem-solving strategies and insights into how they would navigate similar challenges. By delving into actual scenarios, you gain valuable insights into a candidate’s ability to handle practical challenges and assess their compatibility with the organization’s culture.

    Also, prompt candidates to recount similar previous experiences, if any. This gives them an opportunity to explore their learning curve, revealing their capacity for adaptation and growth. This comprehensive method not only evaluates soft skills but also uncovers a candidate’s creativity, cultural fit, and proficiency in addressing real-world issues within a professional context."
