Personality Interview Questions

Personality questions are used to identify whether a candidate is a suitable match for a firm's culture since they show specific attributes that define an applicant's appropriateness for the position. Soft talents are not always apparent on paper. When hiring new employees, knowledge and experience are crucial, but it also helps to look for certain personality traits that will help them cooperate with their coworkers and perform effectively under pressure.
