Hiring Skills: Behavioral Selection Interviewing
This course will give you the hiring skills you need to get past “typical” interview responses and collect valuable information for more accurate decision-making and better hiring. Making the right hiring decision is increasingly important today. When our hiring skills need improving, we fail to accurately assess a candidate, and we may not make the best hiring decision. The costs of a wrong hiring decision can be tremendous, and the impact on you and your business can be significant.
