An applicant's response to obstacles is considered to be one of the best predictors of their future job performance and success.

What are the holes that exist in most employee selection processes that cause needless hiring mistakes? (multiple answers permitted)

Most unmotivated employees were great hires but they changed after they were hired due to poor management, unrealistic job expectations and/or unsatisfactory working conditions.

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.

An applicant with great job skills will always out-perform a job applicant with lesser skill.

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

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

Using behavior-based interviewing is the most effective way to correctly assess an applicant's self-motivation.

Many managers who make hiring decisions are competent in their area of expertise but lack the proper interviewer training to know how to correctly identify applicants who will be 'High Performers' if hired.

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