Do you want to improve your chances of selecting the right people for the right jobs? Many managers spend more time pitching applicants on why they should work for their companies instead of finding out what types of workers the people they're interviewing are likely to be.

Learning Objectives Behavior Based Interviewing is designed for those who participate in the process of screening and hiring job applicants. The underlying premise behind this popular and effective interviewing technique is that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. By using behavior based interviewing techniques, managers can get a sense of what applicants have done in the past, what they learned from the consequences of their actions, and how they're likely to behave on the job in the future.
