The One Interview Question You Need to Be Asking

For OVM Marketing and any other expanding business, recruitment is significant for long-lasting success. The ability to discover, attract, and maintain talented entrepreneurs is at the center of first-rate management. Establishing who is a perfect match for your organization is more of an art than a science. There is one question everyone should be asking though: “What drives you?”

Answering this question requires candidates to be highly self-aware. Although you may get parallel responses from multiple interviewees, the manner and quality of the answers can give away a lot. Passionate people tend to be self-starters. Someone who enthusiastically communicates a strong desire to assist people or to creatively seek solutions to problems will probably be a strong team member.

Mindset is perhaps the most important benchmark for joining our OVM Marketing team. We favor how ambitious people are more than their technical skill and experience. It is very challenging to falsify an answer to this question. It is always evident when someone is truly passionate about something.

Of course, the actual substance of the answers is also important. It gives us insight into how we can better inspire people when they join our team. We know the type of work we will be offering, so we look for entrepreneurs who will enjoy and be driven by that work.
