Interview questions to draw out real responses from a job applicant: “What was your boss’s name? How do you spell that? What was it like working with him/her? What will he/she say were your biggest strengths? Areas for improvement?”
Geoff Smart, who has a PhD in interviewing, spoke to the National Fastener Distributors Association on “Who: The A Method for Hiring Workshop.”
“Hiring mistakes are your #1 problem,” Smart told the NFDA meeting in Chicago. “On average, managers make hiring mistakes 50% of the time, and each mistake costs 15 times the person’s base salary.”
Smart touted his “A Method” for hiring as improving hiring success 50% to 90%.
