Hiring

We are looking to replace an existing employee. We have advertised in the newspaper anonomously but word has apparantly leaked out in the office. It is next to impossible to interview in our office without everyone knowing an interview is going on. What do we do now? The attitudes of the staff are going downhill fast. How do we conduct interviews to replace an existing employee?

If concerned about current staff worrying about who may be getting replaced, maybe schedule the interviews before or after hours, or even on the weekends. Other options might be to schedule the interview off-site.
Good luck!

I would do telephone interviews on all prospective candidates. Then consider asking the top three candidates to breakfast or lunch. This will give you a relaxed atmosphere in which to interview and keep the candidates from being concerned about not being interviewed on the premises.
