Questions about Teamwork
Page Overview:
At Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment, we help employers understand how candidates really collaborate by providing powerful interview prompts on teamwork. This page presents six well-considered questions, such as whether candidates work better solo or in a group, what parts they played in their best team experiences, key traits of high-performing teams, the impact of leadership, and the types of colleagues they work well (or struggle) with, designed to reveal attitudes and fit in real-world environments. Use these structured questions to assess how candidates communicate, cooperate, and contribute to the collective success of your sales team.
Here are six great questions to ask about teamwork within a sales team:
- Are you more effective on your own or as part of a team?
- What is the best team that you have ever worked in and why? What part did you play in the team, and what contribution did you make to the success of the team?
- What are the characteristics of a great team?
- How important do you feel the 'leader' is in creating a successful team?
- What types of characters do you work best with?
- What kind of people do you find challenging to work with?
