The key reasons for why someone should be hired for a role generally include:
- The candidate's background and experience perfectly match the role and industry, allowing immediate and effective contribution.
- The candidate has the experience to meet the role’s demands and needs minimal supervision, thus freeing managers for other tasks.
- They bring qualities that help take the company to the next level, such as creativity, resourcefulness, teamwork, and the ability to save costs.
- They have relevant skills, accomplishments, passion, motivation, and a track record of delivering results, which align well with the company's needs and culture.
In an interview, a strong answer to "Why should you be hired for this role?" might include highlighting specific relevant experiences, skills, motivation, and how the candidate’s unique attributes will benefit the company. It is important to tailor this to the role and demonstrate enthusiasm and understanding of company needs without sounding overconfident or rehearsed.
