Talent Acquisition Project II
Selection Interview
Purpose: HR professionals must be able to develop a professional, legally defensible structured selection interview using up-to-date job information. A structured interview has questions that are directly related to the job and have a process for evaluating the quality of applicant’s response to the questions. The following exercise will give you practice in developing a structured interview consisting of a situational, behavioral and a fit question (all with appropriate scoring keys).
A well-designed interview will use different types of questions to provide a more complete assessment of the candidate. A Situational question is based on a job task, a Behavioral question is based on a KSAO and a fit question is based on an important job demand. All questions should have a structured process for scoring applicant responses using the 1-3-5 scoring format.
Answer the question on “structured interviews” (100 words, plus citations)
Use the information from Project I. You may need to talk to your SME for additional information concerning the job to do this project. Select an important task, KSAO and demandwith which you will develop interview questions for that job. Consider percentage weights to focus your questions on the most important aspects of the job.
Watch the Selection Interview lecture video (above) and read assigned text materials (Week 12 Lecture).
