TrainingBriefs® Behavior-Based Interviewing – Seeking Contrary Evidence

New Micro-Learning! Clear, pre-planned questions help the candidate know how to answer. But often a candidate’s initial answer isn’t enough. Then, you have to ask job-related probes to get the whole picture of the candidate’s skills. In this course, you'll explore the topic of seeking contrary evidence.

The Seeking Contrary Evidence strategy involves asking questions about strengths, weaknesses, successes, failures, achievements and mistakes. The main reason this strategy is important is that it allows you to evaluate a more balanced response and not get a one-sided view of the candidate.
