Leadership Development, 25 minutes, self-paced
Behavioral Interviewing
Apply behavioral interviewing techniques to select the best candidates
Included with the Thrive Platform, flat per organization. Courses set the language; live workshops are where the skill is built.
Who it is for
Hiring managers who want to make better selection decisions, and anyone who conducts interviews without formal training. Useful for teams trying to bring consistency and fairness to how they hire.
What you will learn
- Write behavioral questions that ask candidates to describe real past situations rather than hypotheticals
- Use a structured method such as situation-task-action-result to keep answers concrete and comparable
- Probe past a rehearsed answer to find out what the candidate actually did
- Score candidates against defined criteria to reduce the pull of gut feel and bias
- Run a consistent process so different candidates are evaluated on the same basis
What changes on the job
- Interviews surface what candidates have actually done instead of how well they pitch themselves
- Hiring decisions rest on comparable evidence rather than a first impression
- The interview process becomes consistent enough to defend and to improve
This course is one part of the mix. The same topic runs as a live workshop where a facilitator who has held the role watches you practice, and Coach Taylor follows up afterward.
Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions
Questions about this course.
Do I need to be in HR to use this?
No. It is written for any manager who interviews candidates. HR partners will find it useful too, but the primary audience is hiring managers making selection decisions.
How long is the course?
About 20 minutes, self-paced, included with the Thrive platform for every employee of the organization.
Will this help reduce bias in hiring?
A structured, criteria-based approach reduces the influence of gut feel and first impressions, which is one contributor to bias. The course focuses on that structure rather than making broad claims about outcomes.
