Structured Interviews
Structured, behavioral interviews (SBIs) are becoming more and more the standard interview method in organizations today, and for good reason. When developed properly, SBIs ensure that the selection process is valid, efficient, and selects the best possible candidate(s).
SBIs provide a consistent method for evaluating candidate qualifications, and a fair means for making hiring or promotional decisions. They work for a simple reason: the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. SBIs focus on what a candidate has done in the past that is directly related to the competencies needed for success in your organization. Research shows that SBIs are far superior to the typical unstructured interview still used in many organizations, because they are:
- Better predictors of future job performance
- More job-related
- More legally defensible
