Interview for Success:

A Half-Day Competency-Based Behavioral Interviewing Workshop

 

Time Guidelines

The Workshop takes a half-day to complete.

 

Competency-based behavioral interviewing techniques will give your company a strategic focus by allowing hiring managers to integrate job-specific, future-oriented competencies into their interviews. This workshop teaches participants to identify key competencies (characteristics that differentiate outstanding performers from average performers in a given job) and build those competencies into their hiring and selection process in order to attain this strategic focus.

Interviewing for competencies follows a structured format which this workshop takes you through step-by-step-the interviewer builds a customized interview format for each individual position based on the duties and responsibilities of the position and identifies the critical skills needed to perform these duties and responsibilities at a superior performance level.

Unlike other competency-based interviewing workshops, Interview for Success uses personality measures based on the results of a Big 5 Personality Assessment in conjunction with competency-based interviewing and ties the two factors together to assess areas, such as technical acumen and behavioral tendencies.


Video role-plays effectively model behavioral interviewing practices and provide learners with a structured format to recognize and critique, good and bad approaches.


With a series of Job Aids for each step, as well as a database of competencies, behaviors, and more than 300 effective behavioral interviewing questions provided on CD-ROM, this easy-to-use tool enables the hiring manager or human resources professional to expertly build a competency-based interview.
