1. Go out for lunch with your team and invite them along

Not only do most people love free food, this also gives you a chance to talk with your candidate casually and see how they interact with the rest of your team, instead of a one-on-one meeting

2. Take them on a tour of your office

They’ll get a feel for how people work at your office, and you also have the opportunity for conversations sparked by your current projects

3. Invite your candidate to a company event

Does your office go out for pizza once a week? Host a playstation tournament every other Thursday? Invite your candidate along for the fun!

4. Go out for a cup of coffee

There’s a reason coffee shops are considered a fairly standard first date. It’s a casual environment, there are a lot of people, and it’s easy for both people to relax as you talk.
