Women of Influence Preview #17: Lori Kaiser (plus job interview advice from powerful execs)

Lori Kaiser and her team can tell pretty quickly from a candidate's resume if they've got the technical skills and experience necessary to succeed at the accounting firm. What they're looking for in a job interview, then, is more of an intangible quality. "We tend to like people … that have batteries included," Kaiser said. "“They’re going to be out there at the client site, and they have to be a self-starter."Kaiser, who launched her consulting business nearly 30 years ago and has since grown it to about 70 employees, shared her thoughts on hiring during a recent taping of our Women of Influence podcast. Our full conversation will drop next Friday, but we're sharing a preview this week including Kaiser's thoughts on hiring and growth, plus her story of proving the naysayers wrong with her business.Also in this preview: a few more thoughts on the interview process from yours truly, plus my favorite interview questions as shared by our 2019 C-Suite Award winners.
