One of the most important things an interviewer can do to
prepare for an interview is become aware of the common mistakes made by
interviewers. That’s where this guide can help.
Interviewing Mistakes Can be Costly
According to SHRM, the average cost per hire for employers
is more than $4,400 and the average time to hire a new employee is 36
days—underscoring that interviewing is an expensive activity.
And if, through poor interviewing, you hire the wrong
person? That can be even more expensive. ERE Media estimates that turnover can
cost an organization anywhere from 30 to 50 percent of the annual salary to
replace an entry-level employee and as much as 400 percent of the salary of a
high-level or highly specialized employee.
Interviewer preparation is critical for a behavioral
interview. The interviewer must understand how to seek specific, job-relevant
examples of the candidate’s past behavior in situations similar to those in the
job being filled. Once this data is collected, the interviewer also needs to understand
what to do with it to make the best hiring decision.
Don’t Let Your Interviewing System Be Part of the
Statistics
Research shows:
·
Nearly two-thirds of interviewers worry about
missing information about candidate weaknesses
·
60% of job seekers have a poor candidate
experience
·
47% of interviewers spend less than 30 minutes
reviewing a candidate’s interview results before making a decision
It’s no wonder almost half of new recruits fail within the
first 18 months on the job.
