FAQs

How long does it take to create an interview guide?

Most of our clients would say that they can create a guide in about one minute if they don’t do a lot of editing of the questions. On the higher end our clients report that it could take about ten minutes to create multiple guides when they are very intentional about editing questions and aligning questions to specific interviewers.

What is the minimum number of interview questions supporting each competency?

25. At the moment. Stay tuned, as we have team members creating new questions on a regular basis.

Do you provide template/suggested guides for specific positions?

Awesome question! Today no. Soon, yes! This feature will be included in our next upgrade. We will have more than a dozen template guides based on specific job functions, using the competencies most widely used by our clients for those roles.

Does InterviewPath® allow me to insert my own technical questions so that they are consolidated with the behavioral questions in the guide?

Happy to say that the answer is yes!

Which competency includes the most interview questions?

Cultural Intelligence includes over 60 questions, providing our clients a wide variety of topics to choose from to find the ones that resonate with their culture the most. On a semi-related note, many of our clients are using the questions from this competency to facilitate meaningful conversations among their existing employees to raise awareness and increase Cultural Intelligence.

What do you mean by unique interview guides?

When you select the option to create more than one guide, InterviewPath is designed in a way to never duplicate questions between those guides. So, you can have multiple interviewers asking a candidate about the same competencies, without the risk of asking the candidate the same question over and over. We are committed to doing our part to create a great candidate experience. By the way, you ask really good questions!

What is a behavioral based interview question?

These are questions designed in a way that require a candidate to provide an answer that describes a real-life personal work experience. This approach avoids questions that can be answered with a yes or no, or can be answered with a theoretical response. Research consistently shows that questions like this as part of a structured interview guide are noticeably more effective than unstructured interviews.

How else do your clients use the InterviewPath Competency Model?

In addition to using the model to create interview guides, our clients use the competency model to identify the competencies to create job descriptions and personal development plans. And, did we mention that the Competency Model is free? It is! No need to create your own, or go pay a ridiculous amount of money to buy a generic one.

Is there an option to print a .pdf version of the interview guide instead of using the fillable form version?

Yes! We do provide that option. Although, as you might imagine, the trees would prefer that you use the fillable form version.

What is the limit on the number of competencies I can select to assess a candidate during one interview?

We do limit the number of competencies to eight, although we would recommend that you try to stick to five or six. There are at least two problems with trying to choose more than eight. First, you are likely expecting a super human to do the job if you are expecting someone to be awesome at more competencies than eight. Hiring is hard enough without creating unrealistic expectations. And, think about how long your interview would be if you were asking two to three questions about nine or ten competencies. Do the math. You really don’t have that much time on your hands do you?

Is there a limit to the number of interview questions I can ask for each competency?

Yes, we do limit you to three questions per competency. The system will default to two questions and you can raise it to three or reduce it to one as your needs dictate. If you ever feel the need to ask more than three questions per competency in one interview, just stop! If you don’t have the insight you need about a candidate after three questions, then that is likely a sign that they are not the right candidate. And, imagine how long your interview would be if you asked three questions about eight different competencies! Most of our clients use two questions per competency and only use the second one when necessary.
