Behavioral interviews are a structured interview technique used to evaluate a candidate's past behavior as a predictor of future performance in similar situations. This approach is based on the premise that how a candidate has handled situations in the past can provide insight into how they will perform in the future. During a behavioral interview, candidates are asked to describe specific instances where they demonstrated particular skills or competencies. These questions often start with phrases like "Tell me about a time when..." or "Give me an example of..." The interviewer assesses the candidate's responses to understand their problem-solving abilities, teamwork, leadership skills, and adaptability.
