The aim To use the concept of 'behavioral interviewing' to predict the future performance of candidates.
About the program Behavioral interviewing: taking the guesswork out of recruitment shows how to conduct an effective interview. It shows that past behavior is the key to predicting future performance. Rather than using intuition (I'll know them when I see them), an interviewer can use the questioning techniques demonstrated to retrieve relevant information based on past experiences.
A candidate's qualifications, experiences, posts they've held, level of responsibilities taken are all important details that you need to know. But the unanswered question is 'how will they actually perform in the precise job you're advertising?'
Because behavioral interviewing is a technique that is so important, so effective and always successful, it needs to be used consciously and systematically in every selection interview.
