One study found that traditional interviewing predicted future employee success only 10% of the time but behavioral based interviewing improved that rate by over 500%. Behavioral based interviewing is a wonderful technique that aims to show that past behavior predicts your future behavior. Traditional interviewing focuses solely on hypothetical questions, but fails to analyze the candidate’s past behavior under a different employer, but under a similar job role.

The SOAR method works flawlessly in extracting behavioral attributes of the candidate by asking him/her situational questions that helps employers to pre-determine that candidate’s core competencies that fit perfectly into that particular job’s requirements.

Moreover, by hiring the best employee, you ensure that you boost overall business outcomes in the long run.

It will help participants gain firsthand knowledge about how to leverage the power of behavioral based interviews and SOAR questioning to obtain greater outcomes.
