Does Your Interviewing Process Work?

In a previous issue of the Harvard Business Review, Larry Bossidy, the past CEO of AlliedSignal, describes interviewing as "the most flawed process in American business."

Based on over 25 years of experience helping organizations improve competency-based behavioral interviewing training and practices, we couldn't agree more.

More and more of our clients have increased hiring. More and more of our clients utilize an inconsistent and unproven interviewing process that takes too much time and does not produce the desired results.

While we know that hiring the right people significantly decreases costs and increases productivity, fewer and fewer organizations have the skills to interview effectively-they don't have a clear picture of the ideal candidate nor how to ask the questions that will predict performance once hired.

We think the problem is obvious.

Management Tools for Hiring Top Talent

If you are working long hours while trying to add important members to your team, you should be asking yourself lots of questions.

Based on over 25 years of experience helping organizations improve competency-based behavioral interviewing training and practices, we suspected you might be wondering how best to accomplish this objective.

Despite the best intentions, 90% of all terminations are due to performance factors that never appeared on a resume. Most companies exert 2-4 times more time and effort to interview and select new employees than is required.

It is possible to hire "A" players faster with less effort.
