2). Behavior Preferences Patterns

a. Here is a download for behavioral interview questions reflecting various themes.

b. Also, you may want to consider a behavior assessment. By the way, whether you use ours and another, and you're in the U.S. and choose to use a pre-hire assessment, make sure it's EEOC compliant.

After reviewing, if it's something you'd like to explore, contact me and I'll set up a sample run through for you.
