Behavioral Interview Training Workshops

This program has been approved for up to 10 recertification credit hours toward PHR and SPHR recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). For more information about certification or recertification, please visit the HRCI homepage at www.hrci.org.

Our workshops provide a proven guide to understanding and implementing effective behavioral interviewing techniques to identify Top Talent, improve your hiring ROI, and increase your company’s competitive edge in today’s market.

A critical step in the employee selection process is the employment interview. Behavioral Interviewing focuses on the applicant's past actions and behaviors, rather than subjective impressions that can sometimes be misleading, so interviewers can make more accurate hiring decisions. Behavioral interviewing, when approached properly, reduces the chance of potential bias or discrimination, is successful in regards to job relatedness, has a higher return on investment, and is more legally defensible than other types of interviewing. In fact, behavioral interviewing is said to be 55 percent predictive of future on-the-job behavior, while traditional interviewing is only 10 percent predictive (*Career Center of the University of Notre Dame, Janz, Hellervik, & Gilmore, 1986).

Our powerful, interactive, competency-based behavioral interviewing workshops are in high demand with business owners, executives, recruiters, team leaders, human resource staff, and any individual responsible for interviewing and selecting employees. A certificate will be provided to each participant indicating certification in behavioral interviewing and a form of completion can be submitted to SHRM for continuing education credit.
