When hiring for an SEO specialist position, it’s good to go into the interview with a list of questions for the interviewee. The world of SEO is so massive, that it can be intimidating to know which questions result in measurable answers.
This doesn’t need to be a lengthy blog post, so here is the quick list of said questions to ask:
- Why are you interested in this position? How does your previous experience relate to this position?
- What can you tell me about your writing process and how do you deal with writing for an audience you are not well acquainted with?
- What makes good writing? How do you know if a piece of content is performing well?
- Can you give us one example of how you pulled a story idea back from what you felt was certain failure?
- When you receive a document to edit, how do you approach the process? What are you strengths and weaknesses as an editor?
- How do you balance independent thinking and cooperation with others? Share an example.
- What is your experience with content strategy and SEO? How have you used these to increase the reach and impact of your content?
- What is this first thing you do to optimize your work for search?
- What have you found to be the best way to confer with writers and editors concerning approaches needed to increase the SEO and engagement value of content?
- How do you approach promoting the content you are publishing and how do you go about coordinating its release?
- What challenges are you looking for in this managing SEO position?
Pretty heavy questions right? We thought so too.
