Interview Training
Identify, hire, and promote the best candidates. Equip your leaders with the skills to identify the right talent for your business during the hiring process. Chapman & Co.’s proven behavior-based methods allow you to remove bias from your hiring and promotions so you can select the best people for your company.
The Problem with Interviews
If you ask most managers how good they are at interviewing, they will probably reply, “Great, above average.” But their hiring track record tells a different story. In fact, the hiring success rate for most managers is in the 50/50 range. Half the time they hire right, and the other half of the time a person is brought in who either underperforms or eventually has to be let go.
The other issue is that most leaders think on their feet, so they try to do the same when hiring. That’s why most of them make up their mind about a candidate in the first three minutes of an interview. The rest of the time is spent justifying their decision with vague, generic questions like: “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” These canned questions are usually met with canned answers: “I’m a perfectionist and I work hard.”
How to Make Better Hiring Decisions
Every component of your company’s success depends on your people. Recruiting impacts profitability in the requirement of time, effort, and resources. Research clearly demonstrates that structured, standardized behavior interviews are significantly more accurate in predicting who will be successful on the job versus the typical unstructured interview conducted by most hiring managers. Since interviews are the single most common technique to help organizations hire the right people, doesn’t it make sense to teach your leaders how to do it more effectively?
In our interactive Interview Training course, participants learn proven techniques to prepare for interviews. They also learn the tools of asking non-leading questions that get specific, informative answers that provide real candidate insights to inform hiring decisions.
