Applications Are Online- Now What?Driving all candidates to on-line applications was billed as the one advancement in healthcare recruiting which was going to transform the process.

The “Truth” about Behavioral InterviewingInterviewing is the most widely used instrument in applicant screening and assessment, yet many companies do not have a sound interviewing process in place. Even if a company does have a structured interview process, they may not be performing a “true” behavior based interview.

Many interviewers, however, even after going through behavioral interviewing training, revert to “gut feeling decision making.” Join Paul Glatzhofer (Project Consultant, Select International) and Fran Gross (Senior Industrial/Organizational Psychologist, The Timken Company) as they discuss “best practices” in behavioral interviewing.
