21 Fitter Welder Interview Questions You Should Ask Your Candidates

It is important to find the suitable ones for your company. Otherwise, there would induce subsequent difficulties – for example, they can’t adapt to the company culture and sooner or latter will quit; they are incapable of doing the job; they are skilled though, their dedication is still a question; etc. As the recruitment process is that crucial, you should take it with best care for none of later regret. The short-list round, of course, will choose those with background and capability you need. Specially, pay attention to their can-do attitude that can be hinted from their qualities shown in their CV. That will be followed by you interviewing your short-listed candidates. This round is truly important, completing your feel of the candidate, whether they can do the job, what is important to them, and whether they will be a good fit to your operation. Also, check your candidates’ preparedness through what they wear. This applies to just about every hiring processes; welding manpower recruitment is not an exception.
