Effective Interviewing

Effective Interviewing

Learning Format: Classroom

Interviews. We use them to select new employees and new leaders to join our organization, helping us to grow, to prosper and to evolve. However, only about 41% of people who are hired last the first year. This leads to increased turnover, increased stress and, above all, increased cost.

This course helps anyone involved in selecting new employees improve their interview skills. Participants will review current organizational and individual practices and use them to focus on how potential employees fit into the organization’s culture. They will learn how to prepare for interviews. They will learn the legal standards that are used to conduct and evaluate interviews. Ultimately, they will learn how to use behavioral interviewing techniques to evaluate candidates using objective measures to select the right candidate.
