Course Description:

Improve Your Hiring Results with Structured Interviews — Discover the power of structured interviews and transform your hiring process!

Are you struggling with hiring the right candidates? You're not alone. Many managers face this challenge, often relying on gut feelings or unstructured interviews that can lead to less than ideal hiring decisions. But there's a solution: our eLearning course, 'INTERVIEW TRAINING FOR MANAGERS: How To Hire The Best People', is designed to help you interview and hire top candidates more accurately and avoid common pitfalls.

Why Structured Interviews Work — Learn the benefits of a systematic approach to hiring.

Interviews are crucial for assessing candidates' potential performance, yet the traditional approach can be flawed. Interviewers may lack experience or be swayed by their intuition, while candidates might not always tell the whole truth about their abilities. Our course teaches you to overcome these obstacles by adopting structured, behavioral interviews, which focus on candidates’ past behaviors as a predictor of future actions. Research supports this method: a meta-analysis by Huffcutt and Arthur (1994) and Schmidt and Hunter (1998) found that structured interviews are more effective than unstructured ones. Despite this evidence, many employers still rely on gut feelings—28% even cited it as their main hiring reason according to Indeed.

Identifying Core Competencies — Master the art of pinpointing essential job requirements.

Before you begin interviewing, it's vital to identify the skills, abilities, and experiences that candidates must possess for the role. These are known as competencies. Our course will guide you through planning ahead, identifying three to five core competencies to inform your interview questions, ensuring consistency and fairness for all applicants.

Master the STAR Interview Technique — Get to know the STAR behavioral interview method that's stood the test of time.

We will walk you through the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result), widely used since the 1980s across various industries. This method prompts candidates to share detailed stories based on your defined competencies, giving you a clear view of their real-world experiences and capabilities.

Crafting Effective Opening and Probing Questions — Learn the art of asking questions that reveal true candidate potential.

Our course will teach you how to start interviews with effective opening questions designed to encourage detailed responses. We'll also provide guidance on probing questions, which delve deeper into candidates' stories, ensuring you gain all the necessary information for informed hiring decisions.

Handling Inadequate Responses — Discover strategies to elicit better answers from nervous or unclear candidates.

Even with the best questions, some candidates may provide inadequate responses. Our course will show you how to guide them to give more useful information and even how to prompt for a second example if needed, ensuring you get a comprehensive understanding of their skills and experiences.

Avoiding Ineffective Questions — Steer clear of questions that lead to useless responses.

Learn which types of questions should be avoided to prevent getting misleading or irrelevant information from candidates. Our course will help you design questions that effectively reveal the most pertinent aspects of a candidate's background and capabilities.

Conducting and Scoring Interviews — Perfect your interview technique from start to finish.

From setting up the interview environment to scoring responses, our course covers all the necessary steps to conduct a structured and effective interview. We'll also guide you on how to score candidate responses accurately, ensuring you make data-driven hiring decisions.
