Despite a universal understanding that good employees make all the difference to company success, surveys show that few organizations do a good job hiring the best employees.
Fewer still track the expense of hiring the wrong employees.
Still more surprising, even in the current recession, executives and managers report they cannot find the “right” talent.
Using the most popular selection methods, research shows that fewer than 20% of your new employees will ever become those top performers who hit and exceed targets month after month. But there are more specific steps you can take that will increase your success immediately.
During the webinar you will learn:
- Why most hiring strategies are about as successful as flipping a coin
- How skipping the resume produces better hiring results
- How to use the science that predicts employee performance
- Three small changes that deliver big savings for hiring managers
- How to measure and report selection results
If you have ever said, “Now, why did we hire that guy?” you will want to join us for this 60 minute interactive session to learn what you can do immediately to improve your talent results.
Presenter: Deborah L. Kerr, (LinkedIn profile) Ph.D., co-founder and president of Affintus, will share her executive insight about how to find the real top performers in your candidate pools.
