In today’s hyper-competitive talent environment, the pressure on organizations to hire accurately and consistently has never been greater. Traditional interviewing approaches, which often rely on hypothetical or opinion-based questions, have proven to be less reliable in predicting on-the-job performance. As a result, behavior-based interviewing—rooted in evaluating past behavior as an indicator of future success—has become a widely adopted method among high-performing organizations. Behavior-Based Interview Techniques for Hiring Managers, delivered by Pideya Learning Academy, is an expertly designed program that empowers hiring professionals with the knowledge and techniques to enhance their recruitment strategies through structured and evidence-based methods.
According to the LinkedIn Global Talent Trends Report, 75% of talent acquisition leaders affirm that behavioral interviews are the most effective method for assessing candidate suitability. Furthermore, research by Development Dimensions International (DDI) reveals that organizations using behavior-based interview techniques achieve up to 62% improvement in hiring accuracy and a 50% reduction in time-to-hire. These compelling statistics underscore the strategic importance of equipping hiring managers with reliable, unbiased, and structured methods to assess talent and make informed hiring decisions.
Through this interactive training, participants will explore the foundations of behavioral interviewing, learn how to develop and apply competency-based questions, and build robust evaluation frameworks that lead to better hiring outcomes.
