1. Behavioral Interviews

Behavior-based interviewing (BBI) aimed at finding out how a person copes with a particular work situation in previous experiences. The goal is to predict the candidate's performance in the jobs they offer.

·       “Our firm is considering purchasing a competitor’s company. Would this be a wise business decision for our firm?”

·       “A business owner has recently opened their offices to the public and is currently making a decision as to what type of product to put in the restroom for customers to dry their hands with. Three options have been presented: hot air dryers, paper towels and roller towels. If the owner has to make a decision this week, what questions should she consider during the decision-making process?”
