Motivation-based interviewing is the world's most effective interviewing method. It's also common sense because it is built around how achievement and success come about. It's designed specifically for identifying and hiring High Performers. 

What is the MBI Practice Interview Simulator?

The MBI SIMULATOR © is a powerful tool to help interviewers practice and master their skill at assessing and scoring candidate responses, along with their decision-making process for hiring High Performers. You can practice one. You can practice all. You can practice after learning motivation-based interviewing. You can practice before an interview as a refresher. A subscription is required to access the practice interviews—individual and corporate subscriptions are available. See pricing options.

The MBI SIMULATOR© Helps You Master Your Skill At Correctly 
Identifying And Hiring High Performers

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE... MAKES PERFECT!

  DOCX IconPI—2DD-FV  DELIVERY DRIVER 

 FREE ACCESS (Anyone can access—no subscription required): Can you pick the High Performer? What if you have two candidates who are equally skilled? How do you determine who will be the best hire? This practice interview is to fill an hourly delivery driver position. Your goal is to hire the candidate who will be the best job performer when skill isn't the deciding criterion. Since skill level alone is never an accurate predictor of future performance, using motivation-based interviewing gives you the edge by allowing you to assess the three components that all top performers share that enable them to achieve their above-average results. If you're MBI trained, then you know those three components are skill, attitude, and passion. Here's a clue about this practice interview—it's either going to be the candidate's attitude, passion, or both that will clue you into who is the best hire. 

This free-version practice interview consists of two job candidates who answer three O-SAE questions that assess skill and attitude, five passion questions, plus two additional attitude questions. You will score both candidates on the electronic worksheet/interview guide, select the candidate you think is the High Performer, and then learn if you got it right. This practice interview takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
