Overview
In this webinar, we will focus on Behavioral/Competency-based interviewing methods for interviewing candidates for positions with your company.
Behavioral or competency-based (terms often used interchangeably) interviews are based on the premise that past performance is the best predictor of future performance. The questions in a behavioral or competency-based interview are designed to reveal the extent to which the candidate exhibits the knowledge, skills, abilities, or characteristics of the desired behavior/competency.
Competencies are a collective of specific knowledge, skills, abilities, and characteristics learned and developed over time or through specific experiences. Competencies are not just about what a candidate knows, but how candidates apply what they know to meet the job expectations.
Identifying and defining the specific competencies needed to perform the essential duties in each position will help set clear expectations for the role, provide flexibility as needs and technology evolves, and provide a foundation for equitably assessing whether or not a candidate is the best fit for the role.
Why you should Attend
While conducting an interview may seem simple, it's not an easy task. A lot of preparation goes into conducting an effective job interview. Unfortunately, many hiring managers do not prepare as well as they should for this critical step, leading to costly hiring mistakes. The cost of a bad hire is steep, and we are not just talking about salary. Training costs, severance payments, hiring a replacement, and customer service problems are things that can significantly impact a business's budget.
An ideal job interview should give us a chance to learn more about the candidate and the candidate a chance to know more about the company. Learning how to conduct an interview is extremely important for hiring the best candidates for the business
