In a recruiting interview many things get said, and sometimes it is easy to miss the subtle clues that illustrate the candidate’s thinking. In this episode we talk about how to practice active listening in recruiting interviews. Listen to the words being used as they give away a lot of the candidate’s personality and approach to the Scrum Master role.

Very useful podcase.
I like Active Listening suggestions like
(1) Taking Notes
(2) Train your brain to listen
(3) Focus
(4) Am I understanding it right?
(5) I think you are saying
(6) Meditation
(7) Feedback is a gift
I think it is good to allow a person to complete their story/thought and then almost paraphrase
“” – “I think you are suggesting” “Did I understand you well?”
