Using Behavioral Interviewing
What are behavioral interview questions?
Those that require a candidate to respond with an example of a situation, her/his behavior in that situation, and the outcome of the situation.
They are excellent predictors of future behavior.
Example Behavioral Questions
Tell me about a time when you had difficulty getting information from a subject matter expert.
Tell me about a time when you had a very tight deadline on a project.
Getting the information…
Persist with the candidate in seeking a specific situation, the candidate’s behavior, and the outcome of the situation.
Allow the candidate to think. Let there be silence.
Take notes.
