Most unmotivated employees were great hires but they changed after they were hired due to poor management, unrealistic job expectations and/or unsatisfactory working conditions.

Using behavior-based interviewing is the most effective way to correctly assess an applicant's self-motivation.

Excellent job skills means an applicant can do the job, however, it does not necessarily mean he or she will do it better than most everyone else.

Motivation-based interviewing assesses what 3 components common to all high achievers?

Research has determined that 'loving the work you do' plays a significant role in a person's motivation and ability to achieve superior results, yet few interviewers take this into consideration when making a hiring decision.

If an untrained interviewer uses an unstructured interview format (asks questions that pop into their head), the probability of hiring the best applicant is about 40% according to a Michigan State study.

Many managers who make hiring decisions are competent in their area of expertise but lack the proper interviewer training to know how to correctly identify applicants who will be 'High Performers' if hired.

When it comes to tracking hiring effectiveness, which one of these do most organizations NOT track?

Most companies track turnover and know exactly how many of their best performing employees are exiting and why.

Given enough time and hands-on interviewing experience, most interviewers will eventually learn how to correctly identify high achievers.
