Hiring for Success: Behavioral Interviewing Techniques will teach hiring managers to refine their interview skills and methods in order to ultimately?choose the right candidate for the job.
Finding the right person for a company is an important factor in business growth, and it can be a very expensive undertaking. How do you separate the good from the great, when they have similar work experience and strengths to offer? This two-day workshop will help managers develop the necessary competencies to ask the appropriate questions, and thereby determine the fit of potential candidates.
Specific skill development includes: recognizing the costs incurred by an organization when a wrong hiring decision is made; developing a fair and consistent interviewing process for selecting employees; preparing better job advertisements and using a variety of markets; developing a job analysis and position profile; using traditional, behavioral, achievement oriented, holistic, and situational (critical incident) interview questions; effectively interviewing difficult applicants; and understanding basic employment and human rights laws that can affect the hiring process.
Velsoft training course materials are completely customizable and can be printed on demand, meaning trainers can edit, add to or remove courseware materials to meet the needs of the audience and then print off exactly what is needed, every time. Each package comes complete with an instructor guide, student manual, PowerPoint slides, quick reference guide, and much more.
