Behavioral interviewing is a method of evaluating job candidates based on their past behavior and performance in specific situations. It involves asking candidates targeted questions about their previous experiences and the specific actions they took in order to assess their skills, knowledge, and suitability for the role.Behavioral interviewing is based on the belief that a person's past behavior is the best predictor of their future behavior. Therefore, by asking candidates about their past experiences and the actions they took in specific situations, it is possible to get a sense of how they are likely to behave in similar situations in the future.Behavioral questions typically begin with phrases such as "Tell me about a time when..." or "Describe a situation in which..." and require the candidate to provide a specific example of their past behavior. This can help to provide a more detailed and accurate assessment of the candidate's skills and abilities than more general questions about their qualifications and experience.Behavioral interviewing can be an effective tool for targeted selection because it allows the interviewer to focus on the specific skills and experiences that are relevant to the role. It can also help to identify candidates who are a good fit for the company's culture and values.
