2. Behavioral Interviews
Purpose
Behavioral-based interviewing is a method that allows hiring authorities to probe for information
that is directly relevant to the capabilities required in the role to be filled. The interviewee is
asked about specific duties or behaviors from the past that might be indicative of how they will
perform in the future. The reason behavioral based interview questions are so effective is due to
the fact that job candidates who have demonstrated relevant abilities in the past are more
inclined to be successful in the future. This technique puts employers in a position to take a more
targeted approach to hiring in training, based on the information gleaned from their
interviews. Behavioral based interviewing also puts in place a systematic process that is easily
replicated by any interviewer. Behavioral based interview questions are designed to elicit answers
from interviewees that methodically articulate a situation they have been confronted with, the
task required to address the situation, the actions they took to complete the task, and the result
of the actions. This model is known as the STAR Method for behavioral interviews.

3. Process
A behavioral interview is a structured form of interview where we are asked a series of standard
questions relating to the role. Our responses will then be assessed and scored by the interviewers
using a rating scale. They will have a list of points they are looking for us to cover and skills and
competencies for us to demonstrate. Every candidate will be assessed in the same way, using the
same criteria and the same rating scale. The process is fair as the same questions are asked to all
the other candidates in the process.
Types of Behavioral Interview Questions:
• Worked effectively under pressure
• Handled a difficult situation with a co-worker
• Persuaded team members to do things your way
• Were unable to complete a project on time
• Were forced to make an unpopular decision
• Had to adapt to a difficult situation.
• Were disappointed in your behavior.
• Delegated a project effectively.
• Surmounted a major obstacle.
• Made a bad decision.
• Had to fire a friend.
• Hired (or fired) the wrong person.
