Choose the right perspective
Match the company's model to yours, since HR for a manufacturer running its own fabs differs from HR for a chip design or IP company. Also consider the person's earlier roles, such as total rewards, talent acquisition or M&A integration, if your question sits in one of those areas.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you compete for chip design and manufacturing engineers against larger technology companies?
- 02How did you handle hiring freezes, layoffs or rapid hiring through semiconductor industry cycles?
- 03How did you integrate people and culture after an acquisition or merger?
