Why Behavioral Interviewing Beats "Gut Feel" Every Time

Why Behavioral Interviewing Beats "Gut Feel" Every Time

At Amazon, every interview is grounded in Leadership Principles and built around behavioral questions. We're not talking about "what would you do" hypotheticals—but deep dives into what candidates have actually done.


Questions like:

  • “Describe a difficult interaction you had with a customer. How did you handle it?”

  • “Tell me about a time you went above and beyond. Why did you do it, and what was the outcome?


These aren’t just fluff—they’re designed to uncover patterns in behavior, decision-making, ownership, and resilience.


This method works because it removes guesswork and charm from the equation. Instead of being dazzled by how someone talks, you’re focused on what they’ve done, how they’ve done it, and whether they'd do it again.

You don’t have to be Amazon to adopt this framework.
