Conducting An Effective Interviewing Skills

(by Mr. Tan Hock Ghee )

objectives

Behaviors Interviewing is a very reliable and a valid candidate selection technique based on the work of Tom Janz, of the University of Calgary. While we all may say that past behavior is the best indicator of the future behavior, we don’t act as if we believe this when we are interviewing candidates – often because we aren’t certain how to ask questions that will tell us about past performance.Interviewing and hiring people are one of the most critical tasks performed by managers and executives.  The more people hired who can perform their jobs effectively, the more competitive an organization will be.  On the other hand, hiring the wrong person for the job can be a costly mistake as a poor performer will undoubtedly hurt productivity.  Using the competency-based interviewing technique gives the interviewer more insight about the candidate by asking them the right questions which leads to evaluating the candidates’ competency levels by asking specific questions and basing the answers on how they had applied it at their previous work place.

This 2-day workshop concentrates on the pre-interview preparation, developing questions and their value, the interview techniques that get specific, behavior-based examples of past performance, and the strategies that follow through on this process.
