The Number One Interview Question You Should Be Asking

For Marathon Promotions Inc and any other growing business, recruitment is the key to lasting success. The ability to find, attract, and retain remarkable people is at the heart of brilliant management. Determining who is a good fit for your business is more of an art than a science. There is one question we think everyone should be asking though: “What drives you?”

Answering this question requires candidates to be very self-aware. Although you may get similar responses from many interviewees, the delivery and quality of the answers can speak volumes. Passionate people tend to be very self-motivated. Someone who excitedly talks about a strong desire to help people or to innovatively deliver results will probably be a resilient team member.

Attitude is perhaps the most important principle for joining our Marathon Promotions Inc team. We care more about how motivated people are than their technical expertise and experience. It is incredibly difficult to fake an answer to this question. It is always clear when someone is truly passionate about something.

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