INTRODUCTION: OVERVIEW OF PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

PART I - DEVELOPING AN INTERVIEW STRATEGY

In this section we discuss traditional screening measures; the proper interview room setting; the most effective way to take notes; the best way to start the interview and the introductory statement that should be used to create an environment conducive to getting truthful responses from the applicant; and, developing a list of direct questions.

PART II - EVALUATING THE APPLICANTS BEHAVIOR

In this segment of the program we discuss and illustrate how to recognize from the applicant’s verbal and nonverbal behavior when they may be withholding relevant information; direct v. evasive answers; on time v. delayed responses; direct eye contact v. breaks in eye contact; and, spontaneous v. guarded delivery.

PART THREE - ASKING FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS

In this segment we discuss how to develop and use probing questions; assumptive questions; corroborative questions; and how to develop information when the applicant says they left a job for any of the following reasons – "I quit"; "Because of the low salary" (or "poor benefits" or "no advancement"); "For a higher paying position"; "I was laid off"; and, "It was a temporary (seasonal) position." The segment closes with a practice session.

PART FOUR - THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW

In part four you will see the entire interview of the applicant illustrated in the practice session, and you will be able to compare your answers and suggested follow-up questions with the ones actually asked in the interview. You will see all of the above lessons "come together".
