Scenario based question- what kind of questions would you ask to understand who would be a perfect fit in your organization?
I have one scenario based question- We have 2 senior (VP level – with 20-30+ years of exp) candidates shortlisted and both of them have been liked by all the hiring managers. Both have almost same CTC expectations and we are fine with their expectations and the notice period too. Management has given you the authority to take the final call on the better candidate among them as we have only 1 position. So what kind of questions would you ask to understand who would be a perfect fit in your organization?

Trying to understand their personal goals. Coz someone of that level would have had some plans or might have some plans to do something which will create an impact in their line of biz. Try to understand if they wanted to build something or have planned to do so in a similar line of biz as yours (your company). That can be a good motivation.
Secondly, just ask them if you get to work with us how do you think you can bring an impact over a period of time, let’s say from 3 months 12 months. How & what impact can you bring in?
You can ask these kind of questions to gauge who can fit in well & who is coming with that extra zeal which can give him an edge over the other.
