Historically, what percentage of managers have NEVER received any formal training on how to interview job applicants?

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

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.

Behavior-based interview questions can give interviewers a false sense of confidence that they are gathering quality applicant information when they aren't.

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

Research has determined that 'loving the work you do' plays a significant role in a person's motivation and ability to achieve superior results, yet few interviewers take this into consideration when making a hiring decision.
