Then they link those KSAs to related work behaviours, create questions to assess these behaviours, and determine what constitutes high – and low – quality response to these questions.
  • “Conduct the Interview” explores how to gather pertinent performance data, open and close a selection interview, take notes, and ask appropriate questions. It also examines how to apply strong questioning and listening skills.
  • “Summarize and Select” discusses how to evaluate a candidate’s responses and rate those responses against the desired behaviours for the position.
