What’s the most accurate predictor of a new Line
Production Executive Manager candidate’s job potential?
Many people think it’s an interview, one where they “get
a read” on the recruit’s likelihood to fit into their
organization.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The typical job interview
– while the most widely used selection tool – is also
one of the least successful in predicting outcomes. In most studies,
interviews rank 5th in predicting performance, particularly with
manager candidates like Line Production Executive Manager
Used correctly, however, as part of a disciplined selection approach,
an interview can be very telling. The first issue is FOCUS . . .
make sure your interviews are guided by the success profile you’ve
chosen for your manager position. Next, use a classic “coning
approach” with questions to obtain the information needed
to assess the candidate against specific profile elements. After
the interview, individual assessment scores can be summarized, and
a determination made as to how to move forward with your Line
Production Executive Manager candidate.
