Behavioral interviewing can be a highly accurate predictor of future performance on the job. Unfortunately, most managers don’t understand how to ask the right questions about past performance that can drive effective hiring.
Asking questions about desired skills and behaviors that are structured to be open-ended and to elicit detailed responses can greatly benefit an organization. Research has shown that traditional interviewing is only 10 percent predictive of future job behavior, while behavioral interviewing has been found to be 55 percent predictive.* Use of formal and well-designed behaviorally based interview protocols can transform the way your organization hires.
TalentQuest can design interview guides highlighting questions that a manager should ask to predict future performance on the job – questions that will be in sync with the competencies required for the job. These interview guides are also designed to examine and analyze a candidate’s education, work and performance history, self-awareness of strengths and limitations, and their desired career path. We can develop interview guides that will not only improve interviewing effectiveness and quality of hire but will find precise professional and cultural fits for your organization.
