Bangalore: Companies, preferably startups, are experiencing increased attrition rate. One of the reasons for this may be selecting the wrong person for the right kind of job. Interview is an important platform to filter the unnecessary elements from entering the organization. Every entrepreneur have their own specific set of questions to ask the applicants. Few of them share their one question that they would like to ask the applicant in an interview.

Passion drives career and while interviewing an applicant, I would like to evaluate the passion that he holds for his current job or the job that he wants to do. The first and the most important question that I would ask any applicant during an interview is “What makes you feel that this organization is good for you?”

Most of the time I have found that employees disrespect their organization and their working process, which brings a lot of hazel during the growing phase of any company. From a career perspective, it is important for them to understand how they can add value to the organization that they are willing to join.
