The Untold Truth About Behavioral Interview Questions
Behavioral questions are great, but...
They're not the whole story.
Yes, past behavior predicts future performance.
Science backs it up.
But relying solely on "Tell me about a time when..." ?
That's a trap.
Here's why:
- Our world is changing FAST. Yesterday's challenges ≠ Tomorrow's hurdles
- Candidates anticipate these questions. They come armed with polished, rehearsed stories.
- You're missing hidden gems. Transferable skills often fly under the radar
Example: A recruiter who managed unhappy hiring managers? They could be your next customer service star!
So, what's the secret sauce?
Engage candidates with real scenarios. Present day-to-day challenges. Use dilemmas and simulations.
Why?
- Assess skills in context
- Preview the actual job
- Uncover true potential
