      Analyst Interview: Tailoring Questions to Real Work Tasks

      When selecting a system or business analyst to join your team, you need to understand how he or she will cope with the tasks that will be assigned to him or her in the team. Standard questionnaires / checklists, even if they exist in a company, reflect a certain average profile of a candidate; tasks often have a very broad context. And they ask one thing, but in reality the candidate will do quite another.

      We will show you how to identify the candidate profile, focus the task with a broad context, and what other questions to ask the candidate besides technical ones.
