Customer Reviews

Excellent

Well written from start to finish - I couldn't wait to adapt these questions into my interview process. The author does an excellent job informing you how these questions can help see the true candidate. I thought I was confident in my skills before I read this book - I cannot put into words how much I have grown since I finished this book - and implemented behavior-based questions. Highly recommend to any recruiter at any level.

Great behavior based questions, and suggestions

Great explanation of the rationale behind behavior based interviewing. Guides the interviewer through the process of developing questions and evaluation procedures. Interview process is focused, to obtain more accurate and relevant information from candidates.

A Great Resource with Hundreds of Interview Questions

"High-Impact Interview Questions" will save you both time and effort in the interview process. It provides hundreds of interview questions that you can tailor to your organization. By asking questions that focus on the candidate's actual performance, you will increase the likelihood that the people you hire will be a good fit for the position and the organization. This book is a great resource for the new interviewer as well as the seasoned HR professional.

Not Only Great for the Interviewer but also for the Interviewee

This book is easy to pick up and understand what behavioral interviewing is all about. For someone that is at the other end of the interview process (the interviewee) this book helped to better prepare me for the interview process in this day and age. Interviews no longer entail just talking about your experience. A potential employer needs more information about a person in a short period of time. By reading "High-Impact Interview Questions" I feel more confident knowing what a potential employer could be looking for and what kind of quetions they may be asking. For the price, this book is well worth it!

A Must-Have, Comprehensive Resource for Every Interviewer

If I had to recommend one book for anyone who is involved in interviewing candidates, "High-Impact Interview Questions" would be it! It is a practical, thorough, easy-to-use resource and reference guide for behavioral interviewing. The added bonus is that it's organized according to competencies, making it incredibly simply to use in conjunction with an organization's current competency models. It's great for converting to behavioral based interviewing, enhancing your current behavioral interview process, or even simply testing behavioral interviewing out by converting some of your current interview questions to behavioral questions. There is no doubt in my mind that if interviewers use the information and tools in this book that they will absolutely find the right person for every job!
