Hired Interviewer

The Posse Foundation employs its Dynamic Assessment Process (DAP) as a means to assess and select candidates for the scholarship. There are three stages to DAP: a large group interview, an individual interview (for those who advance from the group interview stage), and a small group interview (for those who advance from the individual interview stage). For Fall 2024, Posse seeks interviewers to assist Posse professional staff with conducting the individual interviews!

This interview is an opportunity for the Posse organization to get to know the candidate personally. Each hired interviewer will be paired with a Posse staff member and will meet with each candidate for approximately 25 minutes per interview.

Following this 25-minute session, the interview team will debrief by discussing the candidate, recording descriptive notes and observations and assigning a score. The score will help determine which candidates advance to the third and final stage of DAP. The notes taken will be used, if the candidate does advance, to compile a brief biographical statement which will be shared with the partner college on the candidate’s behalf.

The individual interviews are scheduled to take place September 3 - October 18. Hired Interviewer in-office hours will be 10:00am-6:00pm. Interviews will take place between the hours of 10:30am-5:00pm. There will be an orientation session for interviewers on Thursday, August 29 from 11:00am-4:00pm. *Orientation attendance will be paid in addition to time served. Posse provides compensation of $15/hour for this position.
