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

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

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

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.

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

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 often results in extending a job offer to a marginal performer.

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

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.
