MightyRecruiterA behavioral-based interview is when an employer asks a job candidate questions about past behavior in order to determine if he or she actually has experience carrying out specific tasks. This interviewing technique has steadily grown popular among businesses that want to acquire more information about applicants before hiring someone on. Many interview questions can generally be answered with a simple “Yes” or “No.” However, with behavioral-based interview questions, the interviewee essentially has to tell a story of a specific incident at a previous place of employment in order to showcase his or her proficiency in the area being inquired about. These types of questions are also good for injecting a certain amount of spontaneity into the interviewing process because candidates may have not necessarily prepared the story out beforehand.
