The pandemic has not only changed our day-to-day lives, but it has also changed the way we work. People are working from home for the first time, strategies for managing employees have changed, and so has the way we find jobs. In this article, we'll cover three questions you should be asking candidates during your interview process that reflect the current times we're in.

1. What would you do if there were a tech issue that couldn't be solved remotely right away?This question will help you understand the candidate's problem-solving skills and their ability to adapt to changing environments. You want to know that the candidate you hire doesn't need to ask questions constantly about how to manage something, and that they are confident in making decisions on their own when needed. Having a candidate who can adapt quickly to different environments is also beneficial — not just when working from home — but also in their ability to jump in and help with tasks they have never done before at a moment's notice.

2. How do you unplug at the end of the day?The answer to this question can reveal how a candidate handles daily stress and their workload in order to avoid burnout. Do they have hobbies? Do they make time for family and friends? Do they like to exercise daily? Making time for things in your personal life can help create a healthy work-life balance. If not, employees could be at risk of overworking, which could lead to stress and burnout. To read more about employee burnout and what to do about it, click here.

3. Are you willing to work from an office when the pandemic is over? COVID-19 won't be here forever, so you want to ensure that you prepare for the future by asking whether a candidate is willing to work at your business's location after the pandemic is over, or if they are looking for a strictly remote position. You want to avoid hiring someone who never planned on working in an office in the first place.For more on this topic, watch Rob Daniels discuss this on our YouTube Channel here.
