Which of the following statements are true about motivation-based interviewing? (multiple answers permitted)

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

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

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.

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.

What is motivation-based interviewing?

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

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

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

Excellent job skills means an applicant can do the job, however, it does not necessarily mean he or she will do it better than most everyone else.
