important procedures in the hiring process. A negative

reference could save you from hiring someone who is

woefully unqualified.

Great Employees vs. Great ApplicantsGreat Employees vs. Great Applicants

Behavioral interviewing was initially developed by industrial psychologists back in the 1970s.

The outmoded employee selection systems need to be reinvented.

Start hiring great employees (instead of great applicants) by shifting the focus from past behaviors to verifiable experiences and achievements.

The further you can move your interviews away from outdated behavioral techniques and toward achievement- and evidence-based selection, the quicker your hiring effectiveness will improve.

Like that great philosopher of our time Dilbert said:

One-on-One Interviews (demo)One-on-One Interviews (demo)

When we contact your former reference (Instructor) to verify your employment, what will he or she tell me about your last performance review?

What would you like to ask me about the job or our company?
