I have just recruited additional invigilators to our pool.  I do not interview individually but arrange for all applicants to come to a briefing session during which all the rules,  regulations,  possible problems etc etc are explained and we have a question and answer session at the end.  I have found from experience that invigilators choose us!  Once they understand the complexity of the job many do not take it further which can waste valuable time if you have done individual interviews. It is not always possible to detail the job description to cover all eventualities.
 
Those interested are then appointed subject to the necessary police checks, references and new immigration checks (HR undertakes this for me - seems like lots of paper-work is now necessary).
 
This is the second time I have used this approach and it seems to work really well.
 
Best of luck in whatever approach you use.

Subject: INVIGILATOR INTERVIEWS

Hello again. 
 
Can I ask a further favour of you all.  We are currently seeking to recruit a "pool" of invigilators after a rash of retirements at the college!  We have had a fabulous response to our advert, and will be holding interviews over 2 days.  I wanted to know if any one would be willing to share examples of questions you may use during interviews of invigilators (it has been years since we have had to recruit!) and if you incorporate a test for potential invigilators, what does this involve.
 
 
Once again, thank you in anticipation of you help with this matter,  I look forward to reading your responses.
