One of the most commonly asked and tricky interview questions is “Why should we hire you?” Many candidates either sound too arrogant or too humble. At Takluu, we believe the right answer should balance confidence with relevance to the job role.
Step 1: Understand the Recruiter’s Intent
The interviewer isn’t looking for flattery — they want to know:
-
Do you understand the role?
-
Can you solve the company’s problems?
-
What makes you different from other candidates?
Step 2: Structure Your Answer
A good response follows a 3-part structure:
1. Show You Fit the Role
Start by connecting your skills with the job description. Example:
“Based on the role requirements, I believe my background in digital marketing, SEO strategy, and content optimization makes me a strong fit.”
2. Highlight Your Unique Value
Point out what makes you stand out:
“Unlike many others, I combine technical SEO expertise with creative content writing, which has helped my past employers increase organic traffic by 60% within six months.”
3. Show Enthusiasm for the Company
End with genuine interest:
“I’m excited about this opportunity because I admire your company’s innovative approach, and I’m confident I can contribute to your growth.”
Step 3: Keep It Short & Impactful
Aim for 60–90 seconds. Speak with confidence, but avoid exaggeration.
✅ Example Complete Answer:
“You should hire me because I bring the right mix of technical skills and creativity required for this role. In my last position, I helped boost web traffic by 60% using advanced SEO strategies, and I’m eager to bring that success here. I’m passionate about driving measurable results, and I believe I can add immediate value to your team.”
