Recruitment methods that are now attracting attention
A method called “behavioral interviewing” (STAR interviewing) is gaining attention as a hiring method by Google and Amazon. It is said to prevent mismatches in hiring by exploring applicants’ past behavioral characteristics, values, and thought patterns.
Web-based interviews have become mainstream due to the Corona disaster, and many companies may be interested in them because they can cover the disadvantages of not being able to understand personalities as well as face-to-face interviews.
What is the behavioral interview (STAR interview)?
The method of asking questions and analyzing past behaviors, such as Situation: what kind of situation, Task: what kind of task, Action: how did you act, and Result: what kind of result, is called a behavioral interview, and the acronym for each is “STAR” interview.
Points to keep in mind when introducing the system
For the interviewer, digging deeper into the questions will reveal the applicant’s characteristics and personality, and for the applicant, it will make it easier to answer honestly.
When considering the introduction of such a system, it is necessary to properly establish the company’s evaluation criteria, prepare for the questions so that the intentions of the questions are clear, and ensure that the interviewers share the same awareness so that they can rationally identify the personnel they want.
