#8 Hiring Mistake - Failure to Probe for Specific Core Success Factors

Participants in our Research Study found that when traditional interview techniques were used, hiring mistakes frequently occurred.

A lack of deep probing questions to validate candidate stories, examples, and illustrations, led to embellishment and exaggeration. Interview accuracy is improved when the hiring manager probes deeply - peeling the onion, playing the role of detective, or peering deeply through microscope.

Our clients tell us they've discovered there is not a candidate alive that can "make it up fast enough" through embellishment and exaggeration when the 5-Core Question Interview and Magnifying Glass Questions are implemented.
