Letting Go Of The Past When Selecting / Promoting Employees

Presenter: David S. Cohen, Teaching Faculty, Durham College School of Business, IT, & Management

Description

Does past performance predict future performance? Not really. When using behavioral interviewing, many complain they don’t end up hiring for fit, why? Yet, they are following the process and asking what seems to them to be behavioral questions. We know that behavioral interviewing should work. We also know it is key to long-term success and important to hiring people who will stay with the company a long time (retention). We know this because employees are:
Hired for their skills and knowledge;
Promoted because of their results or innovations, and;
Fired because of their behaviors.

So one could conclude that hiring people because of their past behaviors makes perfect sense to hiring people with good “fit”, who will stay with the organization and who will be highly productive. But too often behavioral interviewing doesn’t seem to get the results that are anticipated.
