# 6 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Must ask interview questions plus key traits of a great Instructional Designer

**How to find the right contract Instructional Designer.**

Finding the best-fit [instructional design specialist](https://www.trainingfolks.com/instructional-designer) for your organization’s culture, size, industry, and unique project needs is not always easy.

When recruiting for the role, your internal team needs to understand the nuances involved with the job. This is not always possible when an HR team is busy finding your resource along with 10 others for the company. 

The hiring manager or learning team leaders also need to know what the new instructional designer is ![ftrid](https://www.trainingfolks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ftrid.png?width=300&name=ftrid.png)going to be doing for the project and what key skills are required. Weeding these out in an interview process is sometimes easier said than done.
