Probe for Specific Information During Interview

Effective & Legal Interviewing/Hiring

When an answer is a generality, self-promotional, not behavioral, isn’t complete or the candidate’s non-verbals don’t match what the candidate is saying, follow-up with behavioral probes to draw out more information. You discover that the specifics the candidate gives can be linked to job requirements.

Additional Information

Teaching Moment: A behavioral probe is a behavior-based follow-up question that will clarify what the person did in a situation.
