Why Should We Hire You

‘Why should We hire’ you is one of the frequently asked questions in any job interview and it can also be asked in some different ways as,

• “How are You different from others for this job”

• “Why Should I select You”

• “Why You are Best For This Role”

This is a very tricky question and the intent of the interviewer behind this question is to select the best candidate for this job.

Firstly we should keep in mind that, the interviewer is also on a Job for that particular organization and he/she must hire the best available person for that job.

If he or she hired a person who was not capable of that job or leave the job immediately after joining means the interviewer or job hiring manager has not have good selection skills.

It will be a question mark to the performance of hiring managers, so hiring managers always try to select the best candidate because a good candidate selection also reflects hiring managers capabilities.

One other important factor is that for that particular Job you are not the only candidate, many other people are also called for this job interview. So usually interviewers ask this question at the end of the interview to know how you are different from others and to select best one.
