More and more public sector organizations are experiencing the real benefits that result from abandoning traditional employee selection approaches in favor of competency-based behavioral interviews. Behavioral interviews – sometimes called performance-based interviews – are based on the premise that past behavior (or performance) is the best predictor of future behavior (or performance). However, the real benefits of behavior based interviewing can only be realized when those responsible for making hiring decisions have the skill and understanding to conduct behavioral interviews well.
This one-day course is designed for hiring supervisors and managers and HR professionals responsible for or involved in recruitment and selection work.
