This interview methodology has gained significant prominence in Brazilian corporate culture, especially in multinational companies and tech startups. It reflects a shift from subjective, relationship-based hiring practices to more data-driven and objective assessment methods. The STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is frequently associated with this approach in Brazil. In the USA, this is a standard practice in most professional hiring processes across industries, while in Brazil it is still being adopted gradually, particularly in larger corporations and consulting firms.
