More Than a Gut Feeling III teaches you to select the most qualified job candidate by applying the ever-popular behavioral approach to interviewing. This method, developed by industrial psychologist Dr. Paul Green, directs you to probe the job applicant for specific examples of their past. The reason is simple: The best predictor of a job applicant's future work behavior is their past work behavior. Viewers of More Than a Gut Feeling III will learn helpful job-related interviewing techniques practiced by so many hiring staffs all over the world. You can refrain from judging an applicant on gut feeling by: asking rapport-building questions; discussing the job; taking notes and explaining why; asking specific, open-ended questions to get specific answers; allowing for silence if necessary; maintaining control; getting contrary evidence and evaluating. This video applies these techniques to the most common interviewing situations and helps you to refrain from judging the candidate on intuition. KEY LEARNING POINTS

![]() Why focus on attitude? Quite simply, skills can be taught. Attitude cannot. You've probably had the experience of hiring someone who you thought was perfect for the job—only to find out later that the person could not work within the organization. With fewer people doing more work these days, organizations cannot afford costly hiring mistakes and the resulting turnover. Finding the right person with the right attitude and mind-set is a top priority. In this video, a newly promoted manager needs to quickly hire a replacement for himself. Fortunately he gets some valuable advice from a fellow employee who guides him through the entire hiring process, from planning through interviewing and evaluation. You will learn how to:
1. Determine what attitudes lead to success in a job or organization. In the process, you will learn simple, but effective techniques to hire the best people for your organization!

![]() Hidden Risks of Using Facebook, MySpace, and Other Websites to Scope Out New and Prospective Hires Just hours after you’ve faxed an offer letter to your top-choice candidate for that open supervisor position, you decide on a lark to Google his name – and you discover his personal website plastered with racy photos from his recent New Year’s party. Or, you receive an anonymous tip to visit the MySpace page of a brand-new employee, and you find screen after screen of negative rantings about how much she hates her job – including possibly defamatory comments about her boss and co-workers. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Is it a good idea to surf the Web looking for information about your employees and applicants? And, if so, can you legally use what you find to hire (or fire) those individuals? In today’s tech-savvy business world, those are tough questions. On the one hand, it’s your job to pick the most qualified candidates to fill openings in your workplace. If you make a mistake using information pulled from the Internet, however, you could face legal problems ranging from discrimination and harassment claims to Fair Credit Reporting Act violations. During this 90-minute audio conference on April 30, our expert will give you the legal pros and cons of relying on online data when you screen potential and current employees – with a special emphasis on information found via Google, Facebook, MySpace, and other “social networking” sites. You’ll learn when you can use these sites for HR purposes, how to gauge whether what you learn about your workers is true or false, and the types of online material you should never search for. You and your colleagues will learn:

A selection interview is a bit like detective work. Suspects must be eliminated until the right person is found, whether from inside or outside the organisation. Making the right selection choice means knowing the budget was spent well, a valuable asset has been acquired and that colleagues will be motivated by the new team member. It's your choice shows that too many people get the costly decision wrong, introducing three managers who make common mistakes. It then shows the viewer how each manager learns from these mistakes. Ethelred the Unready is unprepared, knows little about the job or the candidate, and is constantly interrupted by colleagues as the interview progresses. It is not until he is more organised and professional that he is able to make the best choice. Ivan the Terrible would rather trumpet his own opinions than encourage the candidate to talk. He eventually learns about asking open questions and listening to what the candidate has to say. Gillian the Silent allows the candidate to take over. She fails to probe or voice her doubts, and realises she has to be more affirmative and specific to gain the information she needs. The benefits

![]() Produced in 2006 Behavioral Interviewing: taking the guesswork out of recruitment shows how to conduct an effective interview. It shows that past behaviour is the key to predicting future performance. Rather than using intuition (I'll know them when I see them), an interviewer can use the questioning techniques demonstrated to retrieve relevant information based on their past experiences. A candidate's qualifications, experiences, posts they've held, level of responsibilities taken are all important details that you need to know. But the unanswered question is 'how will they actually perform in the precise job you're advertising?' Because behavioral interviewing is a technique that is so important, so effective and always successful that it needs to be used consciously and systematically in every selection interview.
