Few business functions have greater short-term or long-term impact than employment interviewing. From a human capital perspective, interviewing represents a primary means of building the future, for it is the way of hand-selecting those individuals who will become the face... the voice... the embodiment of the organization to its clients, customers, current employees, and the community at large. This holds true for employees at all levels of an organization, and across all job titles.

Yet the criticality of this all-important function is often undervalued and/or overlooked. Rather than being viewed as a way to shape the future, interviewing is frequently viewed as a burdensome administrative task... something that takes managers and HR professionals away from their "real" work.

Mission-driven interviewing™ will enable you – individually or as part of a larger organizational effort -- to recognize, maximize, and leverage the power and impact that is! inherent to interviewing. More specifically, mission-driven interviewing™:

- Encourages interviewers to take a more "macro" perspective (meaning, what is the mission of the position and the organization) in addition to a more traditional "micro" perspective (meaning, what kind of person do we need in this job).
- Seeks to expand interviewers' focus away from an almost single-minded obsession with behavior-based questions by outlining complementary questioning techniques that will yield more accurate and complete job-related information about each candidate.
- Provides tools, techniques, and processes that encourage consistency throughout the interviewing process, all within a framework that affords interviewers with ample flexibility to incorporate the realities of their organizations’ cultures, as well as the nuances of their own personal styles.

Ultimately, mission-driven interviewing™ can empower managers, HR professionals, and entire organizations with the knowledge and skills needed to find the "right" candidates -- the ones who can meaningfully contribute to the attainment of the organization’s mission.
