Also, think about the tasks this candidate will have to do on a daily basis and if this person possesses the skills and passion to drive and own the work that happens every day. Additionally, consider if you have asked enough questions and gathered enough information to truly understand how this candidate could perform. If you are unsure, you may want to move forward and schedule a new interview to ask more specific questions.
