EQ Recruitment
The trend in the past was behavioural interviewing. The premise was to train interviewers to detect signals of emotional intelligence (EQ).
It was a good idea, but hard to do well. The next evolution was using full-blown EQ assessments.
This approach offered excellent data but was awkward to use in an interview and much too expensive for large-scale hiring. Here are our recommendations for an integrated approach of best practices for hiring with emotional intelligence.
Vitalize your Hiring in 3 key phases

. Hiring and Selection: Apply “just simple enough” emotional intelligence metrics to get the right people.
