     This participant's Necessary Coaching Hours per Month refers to the total time that could be required by the manager to compensate for his/her
     incompatibilities relating to this Personality/Motivation dimension of success. These incompatibilities are defined by the distance between his/her scores and
     the "Ideal Range." For specific Coaching Recommendations click on any of the "Basic Eight" CPQ trait names (see left side of this Chart).


     Important Note: The CPQ should never be used as a stand alone test to hire, promote, or terminate employees. The CPQ only measures a single dimension,
     Personality/Motivation. Contact CraftSystems at (800) 228-5866 for information regarding the assessment of the other two dimensions,
     Skills/Knowledge/Experience and Work Ethic/Self-discipline.

     This participant's Necessary Coaching Hours per Month refers to the total time that could be required by the manager to compensate for his/her
     incompatibilities relating to this Personality/Motivation dimension of success. These incompatibilities are defined by the distance between his/her scores and
     the "Ideal Range." For specific Coaching Recommendations click on any of the "Basic Eight" CPQ trait names (see left side of this Chart).


     Important Note: The CPQ should never be used as a stand alone test to hire, promote, or terminate employees. The CPQ only measures a single dimension,
     Personality/Motivation. Contact CraftSystems at (800) 228-5866 for information regarding the assessment of the other two dimensions,
     Skills/Knowledge/Experience and Work Ethic/Self-discipline.

    Dr. Antonio Damasio -
    Emotion is critical to our decision process.
    Too much emotion clouds logic.

    Keep a critical balance between logic and
    emotion.



    The solution - prepared questions that measure specific traits and skills.




    Talking about ourselves causes us to like others
           ✓ Listen 80%, talk 20%.
           ✓ Show little to no emotion - you’ll get the real candidate.
           ✓ Don’t tell personal stories.
           ✓ Don’t agree with the candidate.
           ✓ Until the end of the process, describe the duties without selling the
                 candidate on the position.




                                                   The best shine,
                                                   the worst sweat ...

                                                   Don’t Rescue!

More Interview Tips ...

     A thorough interview process attracts strong candidates
     and repels weak candidates.

                                                ✓ Follow the system as written.
                                                ✓ Ask for specific examples.
                                                ✓ Ask the questions as written. If
                                                       the candidate does not understand
                                                       the question, tell them to answer
                                                       based on their understanding.

                                                ✓ Ask the questions in order.



     • If candidate rambles, interrupt and ask, “What was my question?”


     • If a candidate asks, “How did I do?”, say, “We are looking at
           several candidates, and we will consider your information as we
           make our decision.”


     • Do not paint an unrealistic picture of
           the job and the challenges.

     • If the candidate asks why they did
           not get the job, say, “It’s difficult for
           me to give people an analysis of
           their interview.”


     • During the final interview, spend the most time on the areas of
           concern.

     • Ask references additional questions to uncover concerns. Use the
           “Oh-by-the-way” technique.
