Screening Interview Template: The 5 Core Characteristics Every New Hire Should Have

An effective hiring system must quickly disqualify candidates who should not continue through the hiring process. Screening out employees early in the process not only improves your chances of hiring only those people that have the attitude, temperament, and characteristics to be a great fit in your restaurant, but it also reduces your hiring costs and saves you time by limiting the number of applicants who move on to the interview.

This screening interview template is designed to assess the five core characteristics necessary for every restaurant position: Attention to Detail, Cooperation, Dependability, Integrity, and Self-Control. And because these five core characteristics are relatively stable and difficult to train, it is critical that every candidate possesses them before being hired.

Our screening interview template provides the means to assess potential employees on these five core characteristics in an organized and professional manner. This template provides a quick and efficient way to determine if a candidate should continue on to complete the more comprehensive and costly steps of the hiring process. And because the template is in an editable format, it can be easily modified to fit unique needs as they arise.
