Behavioral-Based Interviewing - Techniques to Hire the Right Person the First Time
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Max Muller
Webinar Description
Hire smart – fire less. It’s that simple. The better job you do interviewing applicants and hiring the right person, your business will benefit. The cost of a bad hire can be significant, not only due to poor performance, but by the employee alienating fellow workers, clients and customers. All too often untrained interviewers engage applicants in a conversation – not an effective, probing analysis of the applicant’s strengths, weaknesses and chances of success.
Today’s best practices dictate that you use behavior-based interviewing because of the recognized principle that past and present behavior is the best indicator of future performance. This webinar will provide you with critical knowledge to make correct hiring decisions.
