In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? In this episode of Season 6, Emma Spary shares an innovative approach to interviews that is changing the game for both candidates and interviewers. Interviews can be stressful, and often the pressure can hinder candidates from showing their true potential. So why not provide them with the interview questions in advance? We explore the benefits of this approach, including improved candidate experience, increased confidence, and better preparation. We also discuss how this method creates a level playing field and streamlines the effort for interviewees. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of transparent and supportive interview processes in creating a more inclusive and collaborative research culture.

Emma's main points include:

Seeking a better way to conduct interviews that allows candidates to shine
Enabling candidates to draw from a range of experiences and engage in discussion
Helping candidates lacking interview performance skills
Allowing better planning for candidates with limited time

This work has also been written up as a case-study.
