I have selected four candidates for the writer position that I’m going to interview over Skype.
The four candidates have all (except one) sent me samples of their work. I must say that I’m already really impressed. They all have between 4 and 9 years of experience and the quality of their samples is really high.
For the the interview I going to ask about:
- Working hours (the position is for 40 hours but are they doing something during the day?)
- Productivity (how many articles can they produce a day – 500-700 words each)
- Experience with writing longer texts such as ebooks
All of this is secondary. The call will help me to find out more about the candidates, such as:
- Personality
- English speaking skills
- Motivation
I really hope that I will be able to finish all the interviews in this week so I can hire one in the beginning of next week. The ebook is not writing itself

What is the subject of the e-book you’re looking for people to write? It might be an interesting assignment if you want good quality content. Hiring someone from India may be tempting, but sometimes the language bears testimony to their lack of grammar skills.
Good luck.
Well I have the research done for the first book and have a few ideas for the next. They are on topics in various niches that I unfortunely cannot share here
The Indian guys have excellent English skills. I am however hiring on the Philippines. An example of a candidate that I’m interviewing has a university degree in English with a major in something called “Creative Writing”. In general they are very qualified for the writing job.
