Recommendation

Hiring consultant Carol Quinn synthesizes more than 30 years of recruiting experience into a simple, rational methodology she calls Motivation-Based Interviewing (MBI). MBI assesses candidates based on their skills, attitude and career fit, which together, drive self-motivation. Counter to conventional wisdom, Quinn places responsibility for engagement on the employee, which, in turn, puts the onus on organizations to hire self-motivated high performers who fit their roles. Quinn’s guide offers helpful insights into motivation and candidate selection, and belongs on every interviewer’s bookshelf.

Take-Aways

  • To hire high performers consistently, organizations need better tools.
  • MBI focuses on learning candidates’ skills, attitude and level of passion: the ingredients of self-motivation.
  • High performers’ positive, optimistic attitude springs from an internal locus of control.
