Most interviews focus on skills, experience and technical qualifications—but those factors alone rarely predict long-term success. What often separates high performers from average employees is motivation: what drives them, how they take ownership and how they respond when things get hard.

In this webinar, you will learn how to shift from traditional, checklist-style interviews to motivation-based conversations that uncover a candidate’s mindset and internal drive. Instead of simply asking what someone has done, you’ll learn how to explore why they do what they do—and what fuels their performance.

Whether you are hiring for leadership roles, team members or entry-level positions, motivation-based interviewing helps you move beyond surface-level answers and identify candidates who align with your culture, values and expectations. When you hire for motivation, you build stronger teams, reduce turnover and create a workplace where accountability and engagement are the norm.

WEBINAR AGENDA:

• Why traditional interviews often miss the most important predictor of performance: motivation.
• The difference between skill-based questions and motivation-based questions.
• How to uncover internal drive, ownership and resilience during an interview.
• Practical question frameworks that reveal mindset, accountability and work ethic.
• How to assess alignment between a candidate’s motivation and your team culture.
• Red flags and subtle cues that signal low ownership or external blame patterns.
• Structuring interviews so candidates demonstrate responsibility, not just confidence.
