Upcoming Training Dates
Select a date and time that works for you. All sessions are held live and include time for questions.
Workshop Description
We’re all familiar with the hard and soft costs associated with poor employee selection decisions. However, perhaps more importantly, hiring the wrong person is PAINFUL. Painful for the person who has to manage them, for their teammates, for the individual who was hired and is now failing, and for HR or the Selection Committee who finds themselves back at square one. Poor selection decisions happen because the decision criteria at our disposal are limited, often subjective, and unreliable. In this session, we'll learn how to infuse additional, objective data points into the selection process in order to increase the odds of making the best hire every time.
