Description

Does your hiring process consist of proven practices or just a hodgepodge of activities that get into gear when someone says, “I need more people” or “Sally has left, and we need someone to take her place NOW?” The effectiveness of your interviewing process impacts the effectiveness of the organization.  A new hire that does not fit the position will be difficult to develop, will perform poorly, and more likely leave resulting in the need to repeat the process. Accordingly, the goal of interviews is to identify and select a candidate whose skill sets, and behaviors match that which are needed for a particular role and whose personality, interests, and values match the culture and mission of the organization. 

To elicit such information, a behavioral interviewer first identifies the skills or competencies necessary for a particular position (for example, decision making, persuasion skills, and problem-solving ability) and then use a series of probing questions to reveal whether candidates actually possess those qualities. In addition, this webinar will help you learn how to discover the candidate’s emotional intelligence: their ability to identify emotions within themselves and others along with controlling and adequately managing emotions. These skills have become essential for that valued talent who needs to work well with fellow employees and/or interacting with customers, suppliers, and others.

Join us for a webinar by expert speaker Marcia to find the ideal candidate, human resource professionals and hiring managers must be well informed on how to conduct interviews effectively. Only when interviewing is approached as a specific process with definable steps and measurable results can it be managed to ensure the hiring of quality people.
