What degree do you need to be an interviewer?

Most large agencies or companies are looking to hire employment interviewers who have a minimum of a bachelor's degree, though some may look past educational background if the employment interviewer has sufficient professional experience.

Programs that include human resources, personnel, industrial relations, business, psychology, and communications are all useful to the successful employment interviewer.

For entry-level interviewer positions, many companies will provide some type of on-the-job training or offer their own courses dealing with company policies and interviewing techniques.

In some cases, companies seeking highly trained individuals for engineering, accounting, or other jobs may look for interviewers with some experience in the specific profession.

Working as an interviewer means completing surveys by asking interview questions and transcribing answers into a spreadsheet or another data capturing system. Interviewers should have the appropriate hardware to allow them to speak on the phone and type simultaneously.

Overall, employers prefer candidates with excellent typing skills and a friendly demeanor. Being fluent in a second language may also make you more competitive in the job market.
