Insure that you and the candidate have concluded on common ground:
  • Ask if s/he has any other questions.
  • Summarize what has been discussed.
  • Review the next steps with a clear and honest timetable (and stick to it).
Be friendly and honest to the end of the interview; don't give false encouragement or go into details for rejection.

Do not make a job offer or any commitment without prior approval from the Human Resources Office.
