Effective Interviewing Skills for a Multicultural Workforce

Traditional "gut feeling" interviewing is often a poor predictor of good hires. "Gut feeling" interviewers tend to choose people they like, or people that are like themselves, or people who interview well, rather than the best candidate for the job. Using traditional interviewing the odds are that many new hires will not fully meet management's performance expectations. This makes traditional interviewing high risk and potentially costly. Structured behavioral interviewing can dramatically raise your hiring success ratio! Better hires mean increased productivity, lower turnover, higher morale, and better quality and service for customers.
