title: Interviewing job candidates: behavioral techniques and tips.
abstract: There are three areas to consider with recruitment and retention: position alignment, department alignment, and cultural alignment. Behavioral interviewing is the preferable technique because it focuses on experience, behavior, knowledge, skills, and abilities that are job related. Questions are also based on the belief that past behavior and performance predicts future behavior and performance. The hiring manager is an agent of the employer and may be held personally liable in a lawsuit alleging discrimination.Therefore, it is important to understand laws and their impact on the organization and hiring decisions.
