COURSE DESCRIPTION: More than 90% of people applying to your company for a job will exaggerate or embellish their background, qualifications, and capabilities in the interview. Are you confident you know when a candidate is telling the truth and when they are exaggerating – or just plain lying? In this Advanced Interviewing program, you’ll learn how to separate the candidates who are great at interviewing from those who will be great at doing the job.
Some of the most common interview problems that this audio conference will help you solve include:
-
Hiring managers cling to first impressions and lack objectivity in the interview process
-
The questions hiring managers ask are either useless in assessing candidates real potential or they are canned questions that solicit meaningless canned answers
-
There is no common framework among the interviewing committee or group of hiring managers in assessing candidates, so it’s very hard to compare “apples to apples”
-
Most assessments of candidates are full of superficial statements, generalities, ambiguities, and platitudes that lack an understanding of whether the candidate can actually perform in the job and achieve the desired results
-
Additional tools and methods are rarely used to validate and confirm the candidate’s responses during the interview
Through the 6 key steps covered in this program, you’ll become a master interviewer - capable of quickly cutting through the fluff and getting to the truth behind the candidate’s answers. After taking part in this conference, you’ll find that there is no “smooth talking” applicant who can make it up fast enough. Implementing these strategies, you’ll be able to ascertain if the candidate has either done the work and is telling you the truth with incredible clarity and detail – or they will quickly self-implode in the seat in front of you.
The 6 steps of Advanced Interviewing that will be covered in this program are:
-
Define success in specific outcomes, deliverables, expectations, and results
-
Use the 5 core questions of the “Success Factor Methodology” as a framework for the interview. These questions will determine if the candidate can achieve your definition of success and do it with a set of behaviors and style that is consistent with your values and culture
-
Uncover the truth by asking for examples. Automatically asking for multiple examples will reinforce the truth about skills, behaviors, and prior accomplishments
-
Apply the “Magnifying Glass Approach” to probe deeply and peel back the layers of the onion for every example provided by the candidate
-
Implement the “8 Point Success Matrix” to put all hiring managers on the same page for assessing candidates and force the discussion to be analytical, rational, objective, and quantifiable as opposed to using the traditional “gut feeling” approach
-
Validate candidate claims using a wide range of tools including deep and intrusive reference checks that reverse-engineer the entire interview, homework assignments, and personality profiling to name just a few.
