Most of the time during interviews, interviewees respond in socially desirable manner and what he assumes an interviewer wants to hear. So, regular interviews aren’t the best judge of a person’s capabilities. THE BEST SOLUTION TO IDENTIFY TALENT IN AN INDIVIDUAL IS BEI (Behavioral Event Interview). Behavioral Event Interviewing developed and refined by David McClelland is a process of getting the interviewee to talk about their past competencies, behaviors and performance. This enables an organization to best judge an individual’s future performance based on their past.

Coding competencies from behavioral-event interviews according to the principles of a new approach to assessment (McClelland, 1973) produces assessments that are reliable and valid and is associated with success as an executive. These assessments are not influenced by length of protocol or by performance in the preceding year. Bias is not a problem if both the interviewer and the coder are blind to executive success. In contrast to a traditional psychometric approach based on regression analysis, an algorithm based on competency scores predicted managerial success and improved performance across a number of samples. This algorithm identified potential outstanding performers as individuals whose scores reached designated tipping points within clusters of substitutable competencies. Experts’ judgments on competencies needed or shown by executives in various positions agreed only moderately with competencies shown to be important by the data from behavioral-event interviews.

BEI (Behavioral Event Interview) enhances the growth and profitability of the organization by selecting the best human resources possible and capturing evidence of individual performance against a framework of behaviors required to succeed in a dynamic and challenging role and by showing. And, above all, conclusions arrived at in such selections are mostly reliable and valid.

Behavioural event interviews should only be conducted by a trained interviewer to ensure that your selection process is valid, robust, reliable and defensible. We (Salahkaar Consultants) have developed a two and half days Behavioural Event Interviewing Accreditation Programme designed to provide individuals with necessary skills to conduct these interviews as part of their recruitment and development processes.
