While it is important for job applicants to learn effective interview techniques to land their dream job, it is also important for prospective employers to recruit successfully as well.

Employers want to hire great candidates to help their businesses perform and grow. Interviewer techniques such as taking control of the interview, and using clear communication and effective note-taking are vital in helping you ensure you get the right candidate.

Here we've compiled our top three picks for recruitment interview techniques.
