The Hiring Process: Interviewing & Selecting Developing a Behavioral Interviewing Process - The steps to develop a behavioral interviewing process include: • Identifying which job competencies to focus on during interviews. • Developing and asking the right interview questions designed to provide as much information as possible about the interviewee’s experience in each competency by detailing a specific situation in the past where they exhibited a particular competency. • Each question should be designed to elicit three specific pieces of information: • A description of the situation. • The interviewee’s role, responsibility or action in the example. • The specific outcome of the situation. Behavioral Interviewing: Conduct behavioral based interview focused questions such as: leadership, attention to detail, stress management, customer focus, etc.
The Hiring Process: Interviewing & Selecting Technical Interviewing: Addressing specific, desired skill through interview focused questions and performance tests on subjects such as: computer skills, budgeting, conflict management, and data input. Developing a Technical Interviewing Process - The steps to develop a technical interviewing process are much like those for behavioral and include: • Identifying which job skills to focus on during interviews. • Asking the right interview questions and developing the right tests designed to provide as much information as possible about the interviewee’s abilities.
