BEI Certification

BEI stands for Behavioral Event Interviews

A behavioral interview is a structured interview that is created after a thorough analysis of the job skills needed for a successful job performance. The competencies are then selected that define the knowledge, skills, and abilities which must be assessed during the interview process. This paves the way to develop interview questions designed to identify the presence of these competencies.

The goal of the Behavioral Event Interview process is to predict future job performance based on examples of previous specific behaviors, which illustrate the desired competencies through tactful probing.

The interviewers are looking for behaviors in situations similar to those that will be encountered in the new job. By relating a candidate’s answers to specific past experiences, you’ll develop much more reliable indicators of how the individual will most likely act in the future.

What are the principles of BEI?

BEI is based on the interaction of the following principles:

  1. The best predictor of future performance is past performance in similar circumstances.
  2. The more varied the situations in which a behavior is demonstrated, the more deeply rooted the behavior.
  3. The more recent the behavior, the more predictive it is of future performance.
  4. People reveal examples if past behaviors in instances where they experience greatest successes or setbacks.
  5. The more frequency noted of a certain behavior, the more possibility of that behavior being repeated.

What are the types of BEI Models?

Over the years, many BEI models have emerged. Here are some often used BEI Models.

  1. S.T.A.R Model: Situation – Task – Action – Result
  2. C.A.R Model – Context – Action – Result
  3. S.A.R Model – Situation – Action – Result

Although they may appear different, they all eventually end up doing similar things. At Synergogy, we follow our homegrown, tried and tested model of S.A.R.

What are some examples of BEI Questions?

Results Orientation

Situation: Tell me about a time when none of your supervisors were available to guide or direct you on a particular project or problem.

Action: How did you approach the situation so that you could continue with your work?

Result: What was the outcome?

Problem Solving

Situation: Give me an example of how you have approached a complex or difficult problem in the past.

Action: How did you go about it? or What techniques did you use?

Result: What was the result of that?

Developing Others

Situation: Give me an example of a time when you delegated a project to someone for the purpose of developing that individual.

Action: How did you go about delegating?

Result: How successful were they?

Flexibility / Adaptability

Situation: Give me an example of a time when you had to suddenly change directions on an assignment or project at work.

Action: How did you accomplish this? Were deadlines still met?

Result: What did you learn about yourself?

Teamwork

Situation: Can you give me an example of a time you faced conflict while working on a team?

Action: How did you handle/manage that situation and still fulfil your responsibilities?

Result: What results did you see?

What are some tips to conduct a professional interview?

Here are 5 tips that should be non-negotiable for every interviewer:

  1. Before time is on time, on time is late and late is unprofessional.
  2. Read the profile well in advance and prepare before the interview.
  3. Short open questions with a spirit of genuine curiosity is the best way to get information on the candidate. Be a scientist not a judge – listen with presence and without distractions.
  4. Leave room for discussion and Q&A. Let the candidate know what’s coming next.
  5. Avoid asking discriminatory questions. In many countries it is even unlawful.

Get Your Hiring Game Right

Interviewing to hire potential employees is a core activity in any organization, large or small. However, most organizations still get it wrong. In fact, the costs associated with hiring a wrong employee can soar to as much as 3X to 5X the annual salary of the candidate. Our interviewing systems ensure you hire the right candidate for the job.
