How to Conduct Behavior-Based Interviews

Behavior-based interviewing can help you pick the person who’s the best fit for the job. Instead of relying on your gut instinct, use this structured, job-specific, organization-specific approach to gather the information you really need and pinpoint the most appropriate candidate.

With a little preparation, you’ll be armed to spot red flags, determine applicants’ skill and willingness to do the job, use the telephone to cut your time investment, avoid potentially damaging questions, get candidates to open up and reveal who they really are and use data to make a good job placement decision.
