Hiring The Right People: Practices Of Effective Search And Interviewing

Hiring the right person, is often one of the greatest team building opportunities. The right person can build team performance and help you turn your culture in the right direction. The wrong person can be an expensive setback, as you deal with the negative impact he or she has had on the team and you repeat the costs of the search, orientation and training process. It makes sense to make sure your search and interviewing practices position you for success.

During this half-day workshop participants will discover how to increase the odds of hiring the right people the first time and role play interviewing skills to help them write effective questions and sharpen key skills.
