Interviewing Level 2
When interviewing candidates, evaluating their competencies or soft skills is a key element to being able to predict their success in your organization. To do this, you must evaluate not just what they do, but how they do it. In this mission, John Vlastelica will show you specific examples of competency-based questions and how to use them. You will also learn the importance of pivoting, how to assess soft skills through situational techniques, and why a culture add is better than a culture fit.
