Why do hiring managers ask, "Why should we hire you?" By the time you reach the interview stage of the hiring process, the hiring manager already has an inkling that you have the qualifications and experience for the job. What are employers looking for when they ask, "Why should we hire you?" is how much you really know about the company and whether you are a good fit for the role. When a group of candidates has the same experience and qualifications, employers tend to hire people who understand the company culture, solve problems, and ultimately make their lives easier. So find out what they need and introduce yourself accordingly.
