1 Use behavioral questions

One of the most effective ways to screen entry-level candidates for reliability and trustworthiness is to use behavioral questions. These are questions that ask candidates to describe how they handled specific situations in the past, such as meeting deadlines, resolving conflicts, or following instructions. Behavioral questions can reveal how candidates approach their work, how they deal with challenges, and how they demonstrate integrity and accountability. For example, you can ask candidates to tell you about a time when they had to complete a task under pressure, or when they had to admit a mistake and correct it.

Use behavioral interviews, references, and background checks to evaluate entry-level candidates for dependability and trustworthiness. Ask scenario-based questions and evaluate the application materials' coherence. Examine employment stability, professionalism, and cultural fit by requesting work samples. Take trial times into account for in-person observation. These techniques promote accountability and organizational integrity by guaranteeing a dependable and trustworthy staff.

Asking questions relating to a person's behaviour in a specific situation will provide insights on how they approach a situation. Instead of asking closed (yes/no) questions or such which depend on specific knowledge, questions relating to behaviour will enable you to evaluate attitude, problem solving skills and the ability to take decisions. In modern working life reality these skills are way more important in my opinion. The tasks and challenges we face are way too specific and individual as to demand a candidate to be able to solve them directly. Choosing a suitable approach and having the right attitude to follow it through is what counts.

2 Check references

Another way to screen entry-level candidates for reliability and trustworthiness is to check their references. References can provide valuable insights into candidates' work ethic, performance, and character. You can contact previous employers, teachers, mentors, or coaches who can vouch for candidates' skills, achievements, and attitude. You can ask them specific questions about candidates' reliability and trustworthiness, such as how often they were late or absent, how they handled feedback, or how they dealt with ethical dilemmas.

Personally, I do not want to rely on a third person's opinion on a candidate. It is nearly impossible to verify the reliability and authenticity of a reference. I rather rely on my own opinion and the facts presented to me in the application process and related assessments.

3 Conduct background checks

A third way to screen entry-level candidates for reliability and trustworthiness is to conduct background checks. Background checks can verify candidates' identity, education, employment history, and criminal record. They can also reveal any discrepancies or red flags that may indicate dishonesty or misconduct. Background checks can help you avoid hiring candidates who have lied on their resume, have a history of theft, fraud, or violence, or have other issues that may compromise your organization's reputation or security.

4 Use online assessments

A fourth way to screen entry-level candidates for reliability and trustworthiness is to use online assessments. Online assessments can measure candidates' cognitive abilities, personality traits, and work values. They can also test candidates' knowledge, skills, and aptitude for the role. Online assessments can help you evaluate candidates' potential, fit, and motivation. They can also help you identify candidates who have high levels of conscientiousness, honesty, and loyalty, which are indicators of reliability and trustworthiness.

In candidate driven markets the use of online-assessments such as coding-tasks or personality tests need to be evaluated carefully. The potential insights of such assessments need to be weighed up against the potential of deterring candidates from applying for a position. This balancing act between gaining information to enable a fact based hiring decision and having a lean application process needs to be assessed for each position individually.

5 Observe candidates' behavior

A fifth way to screen entry-level candidates for reliability and trustworthiness is to observe their behavior throughout the hiring process. You can pay attention to how candidates communicate, respond, and interact with you and others. You can look for signs of professionalism, respect, and enthusiasm. You can also notice how candidates follow instructions, meet deadlines, and handle changes or challenges. You can use these observations to gauge candidates' reliability and trustworthiness, as well as their suitability for your organization's culture and values.

Listen to your gut feeling! The human fit is just as important as the professional fit. In many cases this is not something to be determined through formal assessments but merely by following your gut.
