According to a recent CareerBuilder survey, two-thirds of American businesses have faced lower productivity and reduced employee morale due to a bad hire.

Which statement is true about high achievers (people who achieve above-average results)?

Using behavior-based interviewing often results in extending a job offer to a marginal performer.

If an untrained interviewer uses an unstructured interview format (asks questions that pop into their head), the probability of hiring the best applicant is about 40% according to a Michigan State study.

When it comes to tracking hiring effectiveness, which one of these do most organizations NOT track?

Hiring managers commonly make the connection between an employee's poor performance issues and their own interviewing deficiencies.

According to a Harvard Business School study, 76% of turnover can be traced back to poor interviewing practices and bad hiring decisions.

If you see signs or hear examples of an applicant taking initiative, it's a reliable indicator the applicant is self-motivated.

Given enough time and hands-on interviewing experience, most interviewers will eventually learn how to correctly identify high achievers.
