Smart
Reasons for Attending this Workshop
If you or
one of your colleagues has gone through the agony of having to undo a
hiring mistake, you understand the incredible loss of productive time,
the physiological
stress and the exceptionally high cost of replacing that employee.
This acclaimed
workshop will help you to significantly improve the odds of selecting
the right person for the job by applying proven, contemporary techniques
like "Behavioral Interviewing."
Today, job
candidates have been coached, primed and prepared with the "right"
answers to common questions asked in interviews. There are literally hundreds
of books, articles and web pages to prepare candidates to put a high gloss
on their experience and a curtain over their failures.
This workshop
is designed to teach you professional interviewing skills and creative
strategies to get behind the "candidate curtain" and hire the
right employee.

Don't
Hire on Gut Instinct Alone
It takes a skilled interviewer to ferret out relevant information
about how the candidate performed in the past and how they are likely
to perform in the future.

Managers
and supervisors responsible for making hiring decisions. Human Resources
professionals responsible for screening candidates.

Behavioral Interviewing techniques that give you practical and immediate
application for your hiring and promotion decisions.
2. Ability to significantly improve outcomes in selecting the right person
for the job.

promotion decision.

Invest
in Contemporary Hiring Skills
Avoid
the error of using old-fashioned techniques to hire today's employees.
The wasted energy and costs related to hiring mistakes undermines your
business.
The
financial cost of replacing a wrong hire is approximately 1.5 times the
annual salary when you consider advertising costs, benefit insurance costs,
training costs, etc. The impact on personnel multiplies that loss with
low productivity, rework, miscommunications and frustration.
It's
worth your time (sanity) and your firm's productivity (bottom line) to
get it right the first time.
