3 A. INTERVIEWING GUIDELINES 1. Always Be Interviewing The key to a great staff is to always be interviewing. Keep a constant look out for candidates to replace any employees that are not performing to our standards or have a poor attitude. IMPORTANT! You should ALWAYS make time for an interested applicant. If an applicant happens to come in during a busy meal period, don t send them away without giving them a few minutes of your time. Take 2-3 minutes to thank them for coming in, exchange phone numbers, and make plans for a later meeting. 2. How To Spot A Good Candidate Attributes Candidate Should Possess: Friendly, courteous and honest, with an outgoing and likable personality. A team player who has initiative and works well without supervision. Good organizational skills and able to handle more than one task at a time. Believes in working clean and would follow our standards and procedures. Clean appearance and appropriate dress. 3. Preparing For the Interview Review the job description, job specifications, required knowledge, skills, and abilities for the position. Review wage rate guideline and benefits. Review the candidate s application/resume. You will want to ask questions that confirm the information listed on the resume and also to fill in gaps for information that is NOT listed. APPLICATION/RESUME WARNING FLAGS: Worked less than a year at several previous jobs. Applicant continuously blames management for the reason they left previous jobs. The application/resume is messy, incorrect or incomplete Gaps in the job history The employee doesn t list previous supervisors as references. Set up the meeting in a location where the interview will not be interrupted. Request the staff to take messages if you receive any phone calls. 4. The DO'S and DON TS Of Interviewing DO's DO CALL AT MINIMUM TWO REFERENCES. This is to be done without exception. Check their references even if they are not related to the restaurant field. Use the reference-checking sheet as a guide (See the reference checking form included in this manual).
4 Request employment references if only personal references are listed. Note: AN EMPLOYEE S PAST BEHAVIOR IS THE BEST PREDICTOR OF FUTURE BEHAVIOR. DO HIRE APPLICANTS THAT ARE FRIENDLY AND OUTGOING and will be able to deliver our high level of guest service. DO HIRE APPLICANTS THAT CAN HANDLE STRESSFUL SITUATIONS and are able to handle multiple tasks at one time. DO FOLLOW THE INTERVIEW QUESTION GUIDE. It has questions that will unveil details you will need to know in order to decide if the candidate has the appropriate qualifications to be an asset to your team. It also provides structure to the interview. DO ASK OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS like: Tell me about, How did you..., Describe. This will provide more detail and examples from past performance. DO LISTEN Let the applicant talk 80% of the time. DO INTERVIEW MORE THAN ONE CANDIDATE. DO READ THEIR RESUME AND/OR APPLICATION thoroughly before the interview and jot down questions you would like to ask for clarification. DO KNOW THE JOB QUALIFICATIONS Have a good understanding of the target skill, knowledge and abilities needed for the position. DO KEEP ALL APPLICATIONS ON FILE FOR ONE YEAR. IT S THE LAW.
5 4. The DO'S and DON TS Of Interviewing continued DON'Ts DON T ASK ILLEGAL QUESTIONS. It is illegal to ask questions that could be perceived to be judging the candidate on anything other than his or her qualifications to do the job. Be sure all of your questions directly relate to the job requirements for that position. NEVER ASK CANDIDATES ABOUT: Race Marital Status Sex Sexual Orientation Age National Origin Disability Religion Arrests EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD NEVER ASK: Are you married? Do you have any children? Do you plan to have children? How old are you? Do you go to church on Sunday? What religion are you? Where were you born? What nationality are you? DON'T OVERTALK. Let the candidate do 80% of the talking. DON T WRITE ON AN APPLICATION. If you need to make notes do so on a POST IT note. If you want to attach a separate piece of paper, use a paper clip, not a stapler. DON T LEAD THE APPLICANT. Don t fill in gaps or answer questions for them. DON T MAKE THE APPLICANT WAIT. DON T ASK QUESTIONS THAT ARE ACCUSATORY OR STRESSFUL. Ask HOW they did something, rather than WHY. Asking why can make an applicant defensive.
6 DON T ASK CLOSE-ENDED QUESTIONS That allows the candidate to answer in a yes or no answer, unless you are looking for a specific or definitive answer. B. INTERVIEWING PROCEDURES 1. Conducting the Interview Thank the candidate for coming in and offer a beverage before you begin the interview. Be sure to smile and make eye contact to make them feel comfortable and sincerely welcome Put the applicant at ease before you begin the interview by engaging in casual small talk about the weather, finding parking, finding the location, etc. Limit it to 3 or 4 minutes. Let the applicant know how long the interview will take, what you will cover, and that they will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview. Follow the screening and interview question guides. Allow the applicant to talk 80% of the time. Ask questions that confirm the information listed on the application/ resume and also to fill in gaps for information that is not listed. If you need to ask additional questions for clarification, be sure your questions are LEGAL to ask (see the DO's and DON TS of interviewing in the previous section). Be sure to observe the applicant s style of dress and personal hygiene. Do they have a clean appearance? Would he/she be a good representative for us? At the end of the interview, ask the applicant if they have any questions. When all questions are answered: Thank them for coming in. Let them know when you will make your hiring decision. Let them know how and when you will get back to them. If you decide not to hire an applicant after interviewing him/her, always let them know with a short note in the mail or phone call. Never leave an applicant hanging.
7 If you decide to hire an applicant, call to congratulate them on the position and let them know that you are excited to have them as part of your team! Give them a brief rundown on the following: First day schedule/ training schedule Orientation and Training procedures Uniform Employee parking 2.

15 D. INTRODUCTION TO POSITION DESCRIPTIONS As a manager, one of your most important duties is to ensure that your employees are doing their work the right way. To achieve this goal, we have positions descriptions to provide guidance and direction to an employee and the manager about what tasks, behaviors and results are expected from the company. Position descriptions serve to provide the clarification of one s major job responsibilities to help us communicate our expectations. E. WAGE GUIDELINES AND BENEFITS Cheeburger Cheeburger has wage guidelines for hourly employees. The majority of all new hires will be paid within these guidelines. There are times, however, that warrant offering hourly wages higher than those listed: i.e. difficulty to staff the store due limited bus access. In cases like this, it may be necessary to pay a highly hourly wage. Any job offer or increase outside of these guidelines must first be cleared with the GM. F. LEGAL BRIEFS 1. Understanding Employment Law Legislation There are a number of laws and regulations in place to ensure job applicants are treated fairly. The main forms of discrimination are categorized as follows: Races and Color Discrimination There are two types of discrimination. Blatant discrimination, such as implementing policies against particular people, has almost disappeared. Subtle forms of discrimination are much more prevalent. Subtle forms of discrimination include things like: unrealistic performance requirements biased testing, policies that indirectly prohibit certain applicants from applying for jobs (such as a college degree for a janitorial work, etc). To avoid liability, companies need to show comparable numbers of minority and non-minority workers, or show why numerical equality is not possible. Religious Discrimination Companies must, by law, try to accommodate the religious practices of their employees, as long as that accommodation does not create unnecessary hardship on the company itself. Companies are prohibited from making their employees choose between employment opportunities and their primary religious principles. Sex Discrimination Companies may not discriminate against men or women based on their gender unless they can show why it is necessary for them to do so. Companies may not make assumptions regarding what either sex may or may not be able to do. For example, an individual could not refuse to place a woman in a position because the work is physically demanding, dirty, or improper.
16 Sexual Orientation Discrimination Requirements of other equal employment regulations apply to individuals regardless of their sexual orientation. Homosexual workers cannot be evaluated or terminated due to anything other than sound business-related reasons. Age Discrimination Legislation protects applicants against age discrimination at all phases of the employment process. Discrimination of Disabled Persons The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) places restrictions on what kind of questions an interviewer may ask disabled candidates, but also requires prospective employers to try to accommodate a candidate whose only disqualification is the ability to perform the task the same way is has been traditionally been completed. 2. What you CANNOT ask during an interview Do you own or rent your own home? Where do you live? How long have you lived there? How old are you? What s your date of birth? Are you between 18-24? How tall are you? How much do you weigh? Of what country are you a citizen? Where were you/ your parents born? What is your nationality? What is your marital status? Do you have any children? Have you ever been arrested? Is there anything in your religious belief that would prevent you from working on a Saturday or Sunday? Do you have disabilities? What is your native language? How did you learn a foreign language? What clubs or organizations do you belong to? Are you a high school/college graduate?
