Program: Behavioral Event Interviewing

A Behavioral Event Interview (BEI) is a structured interview that is used to collect information about past behaviors. It is an interview technique based on the premise that the best predictor of future performance is the past performance. Thus a BEI attempts to uncover the past performance by asking appropriate questions that require the interviewee to describe in detail past experiences that demonstrate their ability to perform the job.

BEI has been the most effective assessment method in identifying skill levels. It helps in determining levels of competencies (i.e. leadership, functional/ technical etc.). The interviewers would have to infer the competencies from the events and experiences described.
