UK Recruitment Glossary
STAR Method
In recruiter context
The single most useful interview answering format I know. Situation (what was happening), Task (what you needed to do), Action (what you specifically did, not what "the team" did), Result (the outcome with numbers if possible). Most candidates skip the Action and the Result. The candidates who land offers spend 70% of their answer on those two letters.
