Behavioural and Performance Focused Interviewing Skills
“People hire people, not paper.” Anyone involved in hiring realizes the importance of knowing the candidate, not just the resume. But gathering good information, assessing the thinking pattern and evaluating the behaviour is very challenging. Everyone’s looking for the perfect means to make effective hiring decisions. A trained interviewer armed with the right tools is the best solution.
The program concentrates on the pre-interview preparation, developing job profile, preparing questions and their value, assessing candidate behaviour and their performance in specific, and selecting the right candidate. The behavioral-based interviewing technique pinpoints the exact qualities needed for a job and focuses questions on those critical behaviors. Consequently, decision making is based on data directly related to success on the job rather than first impressions.
