Few things make a bigger difference in the success of a firm than its people. And for decades, recruiters and hiring managers have often relied on behavior-based interview strategies to find the right people. As a result, candidates have become quite savvy about what to expect in interviews, and it has become more challenging to evaluate their actual capabilities.
Given the high cost of poor hiring decisions and the competition for top talent, those responsible for hiring need more powerful evaluative tools to get a true picture of what each candidate has to offer.
In this program, we’ll cover essential strategies for understanding not just how candidates behave but, as importantly, how they think and how they would fit into your organization.
Using a combination of advanced behavioral questions and case study-based interviewing techniques, you’ll improve the odds of finding the right match for your firm, not someone who only shines in interviews.
Specifically, the program includes:
- How to use hypothesis-based interview techniques to evaluate candidates
- Review of a four-step candidate selection process, including advanced techniques for behavioral interviewing
- Why a case study interview is a powerful complement to a behavioral interview and how to conduct one
- How to create a candidate balance sheet for evaluating must-have characteristics
- Review of sample interview questions and case studies to include in any interview.
At the end of this program, you’ll have a market-tested framework for selecting candidates for any role in your firm, using a combination of behavioral interviewing and case-based questioning.
