In this brief podcast segment, Hishem Azzouz and Speaker A discuss the transformative impact of asking open‑ended questions and allowing interviewees ample space to speak. They note that open questions surface emotions, thoughts, experiences, and biases, which elevates the quality of their processes. The conversation then shifts to self‑review: Azzouz shares how replaying past podcast episodes reveals unnoticed filler words, and Speaker A emphasizes that listening to recordings of candidate and client calls can expose similar habits. Both agree that recognizing and reducing these filler habits, though initially uncomfortable, is a powerful step toward improving communication in interviews and client interactions.
