What is Motivation-Based Interviewing (or "MBI")? -

Motivation-based interviewing will enable you to assess each candidate’s level of self-motivation and quickly identify a high achiever. Don’t make a hiring decision based on a “gut feeling” or even on skills alone!

Matthew O’Bryan, Chief Sales Officer

I can’t tell you how valuable this training was! I spent a lot of time over the past decade developing interviewing and recruiting strategies derived from Gallup, Marcus Buckingham, and Don Clifton and they were good but motivation-based interviewing is far better. It really creates separation between the applicants.

Before I met Carol Quinn I thought I was a 9.8 as a skilled recruiter and an excellent selector of highly qualified people. Once I completed my MBI training I realized I had been a 7.5 however now I'm well on my way to becoming a 10. This training is a game changer. I recommend MBI to everyone.

More often than not I was basing my recommendations on skill, personality, effort, and my “gut feeling”. With my new interviewing technique as well as, tools provided during my MBI training, I now possess the capacity to ensure that I qualify, and recommend high achieving candidates. I will now be assessing all candidates base on passion, the “I Can Attitude” and skill; the self-motivated individuals that every organization strives to hire.
