   The right interview questions can help you assess a candidate's hard skills, behavioral intelligence, and soft skills.

7. Send a job offer and onboard your new slitter helper

   Once you've decided on a perfect slitter helper candidate, it's time to write an offer letter. In addition to salary, it should include benefits and perks available to the employee.
