Interviewing for Evidence
Experiential evidence is about things the candidate has done. These questions tend to take the form:
‘Tell me about a time when…’ ‘Can you give me an example of…?’ ‘Then what did you do?’ ‘How did you respond?’
A good experiential question is open, which gives the candidate a chance to share their experience, while being specific enough to prevent the candidate wandering off on tangents, or at least to allow the interviewer to interject if they do.
