Example Question: "How do you feel your interview with John went?" "How interested are you in working for XXXX?"
You can also ask candidates about particular things on their CV like a relevant project or qualification. This works especially well when the question relates to one of the requirements of the position.
Example Question: "Are you ACA qualified through a big four firm?"
Questions can also be a huge game changer when it comes to overcoming objections.
