Focus on the Behavioral, Not the Theoretical—Read Staffing Success Magazine

When hiring managers ask questions during a job interview, they’re essentially asking a candidate to provide what they think the answer should be—not what they would actually do. Instead of hypothetical questions in interviews, ask candidates behavioral questions (which focus on past actions) to gain deeper insights and make more effective hiring decisions. In the latest issue of Staffing Success magazine, Tom Erb, CSP, discusses why and how to use behavioral interview questions to uncover candidates’ potential.
