Infographic Thursday: Seven Criteria for Hiring Community Managers

July 17, 2014 By Shannon Abram

By Shannon DiGregorio Abram, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable.

We’ve already talked about the traits to look for when hiring a community manager this week – so you can imagine our delight when we saw this awesome infographic from our friends at DNN titled “Seven Criteria for Hiring Online Community Managers.” In addition to the top seven traits they suggest you look for when hiring for a community manager the accompanying post includes a great list of potential interview questions for community roles . Their top interview questions for community managers include:

Q1: Describe your most stressful moment as a community manager, along with your solution for reducing the stress.

Q2: How do you know what’s happening in your community and what do you do with that information?

Q3: Do you interact with some community members differently than others – and if so, how?

There are four more great interview questions in the original post over on the DNN blog. Check it out and let us know what your favorite interview question is for community manager roles – we might even feature it in a new post!

Have you taken the Community Manager Salary Survey 2014 yet? Your insights into your role are invaluable as we document and define community manager best practices across industries. The survey is short (15 minutes) and we’d love to hear from you. Take the survey now.
