Structured interviewing
The single best predictor of whether a person will demonstrate a competency
in a job in the future is whether that person has demonstrated that
competency in the past. The structured or focused interview is designed
to gather evidence about past performance, which provides a predictor
of future on-the-job performance.
The candidate is asked to recall specific experiences or events relevant
to the job in question. Candidates are asked to provide detailed accounts,
in response to carefully selected "trigger" questions. These
questions are designed to encourage applicants to talk about situations
that will generate appropriate data about past competence.
The Keil Centre's occupational psychologists have considerable
experience in using this selection technique, and training / coaching
others in its use. Structured interviewing is well proven as a fundamental
part of a rigorous assessment centre. |
