Hiring for the Long Haul: Interviewing Techniques to Select the Best

While organizations vary in terms of the tools to screen and select candidates, almost all use one common element – the interview. Yet, from both a potential employee and employer perspective, the way we approach interviews is sorely lacking. Hiring managers often ask irrelevant or even illegal questions. Data gathered during the interviews is often untied to job criteria. And, interviewers often forget they are not only evaluating the candidate, but also “selling” the position and organization.

Finding the best-fit candidates has never been as critical as it is today, so now is the time to ensure you are properly interviewing and making hiring decisions to contribute to the long-term success of your organization. During this webinar, we will discuss some major trends in hiring and selection, and provide guidance on how to adjust to keep up with those changes. You will learn to improve your organization’s interviewing techniques by:

- Asking the most relevant questions
- Capturing and evaluating a holistic view of the candidate including knowledge, experience, capabilities, and motivations, and understanding how this view changes over time
- Enhancing candidates’ positive perceptions of your organization by using a balance of technology, social media, and traditional methods
- Maintaining legal defensibility in your interviewing decisions despite recent increased legal pressures
- Enabling a strong start for your new hire with an individualized development plan that will lead to improved retention

If you’re interviewing or plan to soon, don’t miss this session so you can hire the right people with the right skills at the right time – every time.
