Behavioural Interviewing

After you've completed an interview, do you ever wonder if you're getting the best candidate for the job or just the candidate who presents best at the interview?

Behavioural interviewing techniques can help you increase your chances of choosing the best candidate by increasing the validity of their responses.

Behavioural interviewing is a structured approach to interviewing based on the concept that past performance is one of the best predictors of future performance. Interview questions are therefore designed to elicit information from a candidate that serves as evidence that they have achieved a level of behaviour or skill.

Experts say that moving from unstructured interviews to structured behavioural interviews halves the risk of choosing the wrong candidate and, as a result, doubles the chances of choosing the right one!

Interviews are currently the most commonly used selection techniques within organisations. It is therefore crucial that your HR team and your managers are using up to date and valid techniques such as behavioural interviewing.
