Manual Guidelines The Behavioural Based Interview

Most large organizations employ the Behavioural Based Interviewing approach to select new employees. A Behavioural Based question is designed to examine the applicant’s past behaviour in situations similar to those that comprise the prospective job duties. Employers assess three key performance predictors in the interviewee’s answers: technical ability, behaviour or performance skills, and personal preferences.

A Behavioural Based response requires you to provide specific examples of past events that demonstrate your skills and abilities. You must also provide accurate references to names, dates, numbers, times and locations. This approach allows employers to obtain information that is authentic; in addition, the employer gains insight into your probable future performance.

• ability to influence others;
• interpersonal skills and competence;
• ability to grow and adapt;
• communication skills;
• level of commitment and motivation;
• organizational ability; and
• problem solving and decision making
