About this template

We spoke with a number of partners and managers from different high-performing accounting firms to find the top questions they ask when hiring new candidates. This template includes 30 for you to pick and choose from.

Your best opportunity to learn and analyze a candidate for a vacant role in your practice is the job interview. This is your chance to learn about their skills and experience, and also find out whether they have the right personality and attitude that will make them a good fit for the role, and your firm's culture. So it is critical that you ask the right questions that will shed some light on these attributes.

For more detail on each of these interview questions, read our article that explores the 30 interview questions to help you identify the best candidate.
