Using Behavior-Based Interviewing to Find the Best Match for the Job

Interviews pose a wildcard factor in the hiring journey. While almost every business incorporates them, only a handful truly master their effectiveness. Surprisingly, many managers undergo no formal training in conducting interviews. 

Regardless of skill, hiring a person who is a bad fit is the wrong decision. Traditional interviewing predicts future success by only 10%. With a bad fit, the employee is never going to reach optimum performance and be fully engaged, and they are likely to leave. 

The company is then left with another expensive recruitment and the disruption of having talent walk out the door. (Recruiting expenses are typically 50 – 100% of an individual’s annual salary).

The minute a new employee walks in the door they begin to evaluate whether they made a good decision (70% of new hires decide to stay at or leave an organization within their first six months). If it is a poor fit, they never become engaged and typically they turn out quickly leaving you to pick up the pieces.

The solution is to implement strategies that identify the right talent (skills and abilities) and the right fit (personally, culturally, and socially). And there are critical elements that will make it a good match for you and the employee.

• Understanding the job requirements and critical skills needed for success – aligning the skills, knowledge, and abilities that support success with the organization's culture and how work is done.
