Behavioral interviews are a very reliable and valid hiring tool

Hiring Smart: Using Past Behavior to Predict Future Performance Overview

While we all may say that past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior, we don’t act as if we believe this when we are interviewing candidates - often because we aren’t certain how to ask questions that will tell us about past performance.

This two-day Hire Smart workshop concentrates on behavioral interview preparation, developing behavioral interview questions, and their value.
