Behavioral-Based Interviewing is a process that helps employers understand potential employees’ behavior during job interviews. The “soar” method can be used to gather information about candidates’ behavior.
What is the “SOAR” Method?
The “SOAR” method is an interviewing technique that helps to extract information from respondents. The acronym stands for Situation, Orientation, Action, and Result. The Situation is the current situation in which the interview is taking place. Orientation is how the candidate perceives the situation. The Action is what the candidate plans to do in response to the situation. The Result is what actually happened as a result of the candidate’s actions.
When conducting behavioral-based interviews, you will first need to identify the situation in which the respondent was involved. This can be done by asking questions about the setting or circumstance in which the interview took place. Next, you will want to orient the respondent to your question by providing information about your question and how it relates to the situation. Finally, you will want to ask them what action they took as a result of the situation and what results they achieved. By doing this, you will be able to get a sense of the respondent’s thinking and behavior in the situation.
Benefits of the “SOAR” Model
One of the main benefits of the “SOAR” method is its comprehensiveness. This means that it can be used to capture a wide range of behavior, from verbal responses to nonverbal behaviors.
Additionally, the “SOAR” method is easy to use. This means that you can quickly and easily orient the respondent to your question and ask them what action they took as a result of the situation and what results they achieved.
Finally, the “SOAR” model is reliable. This means that it will produce accurate results time after time, regardless of how different respondents may behave in similar situations.
Limitations of the “SOAR” Method
One of the main limitations of the “SOAR” method is its brevity. This means that it can only capture a limited range of behavior. Additionally, the “SOAR” model is not suited for questions that require detailed information about a specific action or result.
Overall, the “SOAR” method is a comprehensive and reliable interviewing technique that can be used to capture a wide range of behavior in any given situation.
