Bock’s Interview Process – Candidate Assessment

Bock describes his preferred interview process, which involves “combining behavioral and situational structured interviews with assessments of cognitive ability, conscientiousness, and leadership.” 

Question

Give two reasons why you agree or disagree with his position on candidate assessment.

Response

 Candidate assessment is critical in hiring the right candidate for the job. It is the evaluation of listed candidates for an interview to determine who meets all the required criteria to be hired in a company. Effective candidate assessment requires a structured interview process guided by principles drawn from the organization’s culture and policies. Therefore, I agree with Bock’s interview process of “combining behavioral and situational structured interviews with assessments of cognitive ability, conscientiousness, and leadership” because it is critical in hiring the desired candidate for various positions in a company. 

 The first reason I agree with Bock’s position on candidate assessment is because behavioral and situational structure interviews provide the needed framework to identify and hire the right candidate who can complete the jigsaw puzzle for winning teams in an organization. Behavioral and situational structure interviews enable the interviewers to accurately determine a candidate’s ability and energy in executing the required duties and responsibilities in the position the candidate is to fill in the company. According to Ursal (n.p), candidates with energy can articulate the company’s mission and steer them towards achieving the company vision. Ursal (n.p) further points out that candidates with ability and energy can motivate others to perform and are likely to have the skills and passion in their job. 

 The second reason I agree with Bock’s position on candidate assessment is because assessing the candidate’s cognitive ability, conscientiousness, and leadership abilities are primary in hiring a candidate who fits in every organization. The cognitive ability helps determine whether the candidate can execute all tasks from the simple to complex tasks in their positions. Poindexter (n.p) points out that cognitive ability, conscientiousness, and leadership abilities are key indicators of a candidate’s quality. Smith (n.p) also acknowledged cognitive and leadership abilities as strategic elements that form blueprints for hiring suitable candidates. According to Smith (n.p), Bock’s interview process is also helpful in determining candidates’ ability to improve in their various positions of work.

Hi Dr. John and Fellow Students

Bock describes his interview process which involves combining behavioral and situational structured interviews with assessments of cognitive ability, conscientiousness, and leadership.

  • Give two reasons why you agree or disagree with his position on candidate assessment.

An interview process involves people who believe in themselves that they qualify to apply for a position, based on their expertise, educational background as well as experience within the specified field. As individuals, Jack Welch mentions factors such as positive energy, ability to energize others, the courage to make tough decisions, be able to get the job done, and to have passion for what one is doing. As human beings no one is a perfect being, we are all prone to mistakes but learn from such mistakes as well so that one does not repeat the cycle.

Within the education fraternity, the minimum requirement used to be a three- year Teacher’s Diploma, nowadays, it has to be a four- year  Bachelor’s degree, but nothing prepares one for a job interview, as it is only then that one is faced with a real-life situation that can determine success or failure in one’s career path. As managers in HR and or driving force towards hiring it is important to determine our expectations first before coming to the interview table. Most of the teachers, including H.O.D’s and Principals, bring some vague ideas when it comes to hiring. It is worse in a situation where one gets hired because of nepotism, bribery, and certain expectations, as it has been the norm in our country. There are very few institutions where one gets an honest interviewing panel and eventually gets hired. Maybe, through luck or the grace of God. 

Bock’s ideas of behavioral and situational structured interviews should be the foundation of any organization that is willing to build leaders through support, encouraging debate within the organization, and allows everyone to have a voice. A place where everyone feels welcomed and one is able to contribute towards the success of the company. Behavioral and situational structured interviews should be the doorway in which credibility, gaining trust and candor are at the forefront of any organization.

Bock states that “hiring is the most important people function that you have, and most of us aren’t as good at it as we think.” This means that as HR personnel one should be forever on a learning curve, to improve as well as to understand those who might be on one’s interview panel. This would include embracing diversity and inclusion.

What Bock is giving us, is a guideline not only for those we are interviewing but also as a personal self-reflection to those who are part of the interview panel. This will create a match for the best possible candidate as well as finding a common ground for the success of any organization.

Combining behavioral and situational structured interviews should be the yardstick for every organization, well-established companies as well as educational institutions within the HR and also be included as one of the courses to be mastered at the undergraduate level so that it prepares the candidates for the world of work.

Couple and family helping professionals have varying degrees of work. What they all have in common is that their clients represent the variety of human experience. Even those helping professionals with a specific clinical focus see variety in the ways in which specific issues manifest in different relationships. Part of the goal of your program is to expose you to varying scenarios so that when you are faced with differing client situations, you will have the evidence-based research knowledge, flexibility, analytical skills, and theory-integration practice to know the best course of action to take with a particular couple or family.

For this Assignment, select and view one movie from the list provided in this week’s resources below. If you need assistance locating these movies, see this guide: Does the Walden Library have popular films or novels? Begin to conceptualize the couple’s or family’s problem through your theoretical orientation, and identify interventions that you might use. Finally, begin to locate articles in the Walden Library that could be used to justify the interventions you selected.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

  • Identify the movie you selected and the life transition and developmental issue present in the couple or family.
  • Conceptualize the couple’s or family’s problem through your chosen theoretical orientation.
  • Design a treatment plan including short- and long-term goals.
  • Explain two evidence-based interventions you would use to address these couple’s or family’s issues and how you would use them.

Most human and social services professionals come into their professions to make a difference. Doing so at the societal level is both a challenge and an opportunity. Being a successful social change agent, leader, and advocate requires both skill and commitment. To accomplish large-scale change to address societal issues as part of the technical aspects of a strategic plan, human and social services professionals need to address indicators of success and performance targets.

To prepare:

  • This Assignment is the second part of developing the technicals for your Capstone Project.
  • Think about how you might apply the theories and processes of change, leadership, and advocacy when implementing a strategic plan that addresses indicators of success and performance targets.

By Day 7

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Describe leading indicators of success. To determine whether the agency, organization, or community will benefit from the strategic plan, you must identify those things which would serve as indicators of success. These indicators must be observable, measurable, and quantifiable in some way.
    • Identify four indicators that would signify success with regard to the strategic plan.
    • Discuss specifically how you would measure each indicator.
  • Identify performance targets. Performance targets represent the level at which you would like to observe performance on each indicator. They represent the desired level of performance. For each performance indicator that you have identified, specify the targeted level of performance.
