According to Harvard Business Review, up to 50% of all executive hires end in firing or resignation. Why? According to Harvard, success today depends increasingly on intangible competencies--like teamwork and cross-cultural literacy--rarely found on resumes.

Our interviewing skill training program "Effective Interviewing!®" is a powerful and proven interactive seminar that gives an organization and its managers the ability to make the right hiring decisions - and avoid costly mistakes. We provide competency-based behavior based interviewing training, using the recognized principle that past and present behavior is the best predictor of future employee retention and performance.

Whether you're an experienced or novice interviewer, you will benefit from these techniques and will be able to use them to reduce risk in your next interview. The result? You'll have better interviewing skills which lead to better hires and a competitive edge for your team.

Drawing on a menu of forty-eight competencies, you learn how to describe jobs and successful candidates. Most of the seminar time is spent on questioning techniques and role-play. Pointers are also provided on how to keep your interviews legally compliant and probe for technical competencies. Participants practice these techniques, then learn how to make the best hiring decision.

The full day interviewing skill training program combines easily understood concepts with easy-to-apply techniques in the following five modules:

1. Interviewing Concepts

Identify behavioral competencies, and learn to conduct selection interviews using behavior based competency interviewing.

2. Defining the Job and Candidate

Use a menu of competencies to develop a specific Job/Candidate Profile that focuses on essential functions and the corporate culture of your company.

3. Interview Procedures

4. Interview Questions

Assess competencies in candidates using a variety of questioning techniques, and develop your own set of questions. Apply what has been learned by participating in role playing while receiving feedback. Hundreds of examples of probing questions are provided.

5. Making the Decision

Code your notes and create a candidate Balance Sheet that equips you with information to make the right hiring decision based on fit with a Job/Candidate Profile.
