Managers
Can Minimize the Risk of Making a Bad Hiring Decision, No Matter what
the Position, with a Well-Crafted Behavioral Interview.
NOVATO,
Calif. (October 5, 2012) -- A single bad hiring decision can cost
a company between $25,000 and $50,000, but companies still fail to
use a methodical approach to hiring and interviews, preferring
instead to go with "gut feeling" that can cost a lot of
money. Behavioral interviews can minimize the risk of making a bad
hire. In the next Experts Connection session for Executive Recruiters
(http://www.experts-connection.com/recruiter.aspx),
recruiting expert Matt Gill will present "Predicting the "Right
Hire": The Art of the Behavioral Interview." The webinar is
scheduled for Thursday, October 25, from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 -
2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE®
(http://www.netshare.com).
The
premise behind the behavioral interview is simple; past performance
will predict future performance. The objective for the interviewer is
to gain an accurate portrait of how well the candidate performed on
his or her last job, and whether those performance metrics will serve
the company's needs. A well-designed behavioral interview will reveal
how well a candidate performed in a similar role, and how well those
skills adapt to the current position. When included as part of a
broader hiring process, the behavioral interview provides an
excellent barometer to determine if a candidate is a good fit.
This
90-minute presentation will explain how to develop, administer, and
evaluate a behavioral interview. The discussion will include how to
incorporate the needs of the company, the department, and the
position into your questions, and how to prepare for the interview
itself. It also will include tips on how to work with hiring managers
to gather the right information for evaluation.
Specific
topics to be covered include:
-
Creating a behavioral interview that can be adapted for any position.
-
How to conduct a behavioral interview, including how to use specific
behavioral questions.
-
How to guide “off-message” candidates to drill down to get to
relevant, even critical information.
-
How to assimilate that information into an assessment to help make
the best hiring decision.
"Behavioral
interviews are misunderstood by a number of hiring professionals,"
said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts
Connection webinars. "The right information gathered in the
right way can provide insight that can head off a real hiring
mistake. Matt is an expert in behavioral interviews and his expertise
can help minimize the risk of making the wrong hiring decision."
The
cost of the Experts Connection seminar is $100, and access is
provided via web and telephone. A web archive also is available for
registrants. For more information, visit the Experts Connection
