BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEWING

Event Overview

Everyone has experienced being interviewed.  And as a result – everyone believes they know how to interview others.  But were all the questions legal that you were asked?  Did the questions you were asked really allow you to give the interviewer the full picture of you, your technical skills, your work habits, and how you would approach and perform the job in their particular environment?  Effective interviewing is a lot harder than it first appears.  It requires an analysis of the job position for which you are hiring so that you can create effective, appropriate, and legal questions.  It also requires a consistency in the interviews themselves so that you can compare “apples to apples” when deciding which candidate is the best fit for your organization. This practical event equips you with the analytical tools you’ll need so that you hire the best person for the job and don’t rely solely on instinct.
