Interviewing and member selection
We all know that the best way to attract good members to our co-ops is to offer great housing in a thriving co-op community. But how does a membership committee determine that an applicant will make a good member? What interview questions will help with this process?
In addition to meeting basic criteria like financial stability and reference checks, you need to interview applicants. This practical workshop will introduce you to "behavioural-based interviewing" for housing co-ops.
Using the logic that how someone behaved in the past predicts how they behave in the future as a member of your co-op, behavioural interviewing is a new way to help screen applicants. It will challenge your thinking about interviewing.
You will create a set of behavioural-based interviewing questions and have fun preparing for interviews.
