Behavioural Event Interview Technique

Recruitment interviews aren’t always given the attention they deserve. If there is a job description sometimes it helps to set competency-based questions that you want answers too. But when these questions are asked in an interview often the answers to those questions tell you what you want to hear, and not actually what the individual has done in the past. In this course I am going to share with you the competency-based interview technique. An interview is always a crucial part of the recruitment and selection process. Wrong hiring would cost you a lot. It not only waste your time but also questioned your interviewing skills, ultimately it affects your business. So you need to know a solid interview technique. It is the past performance that best predicts future performance. Behavioural event interviewing (an advanced form of structured interviewing) gathers evidence of past behaviour against an agreed competency framework. The interviewee is guided to tell the ‘story’ of successful and unsuccessful outcomes in recent business roles whilst the interviewer skillfully probes and clarifies exactly how success was achieved. Behavioural event interviews should only be conducted by a trained interviewer to ensure your selection process is valid, robust, reliable, and defensible.
