Assess to Select the Best
Especially in a market where we're desperate for talent, hiring the wrong person is not only costly; it is also PAINFUL. Painful for the person who must manage them, for their teammates, for the individual who was hired and is now failing, and for HR who finds themselves back at square one. Poor selection decisions happen because the decision criteria at our disposal are limited, often subjective, and unreliable. In this session, we'll learn how to infuse additional, objective data points into the selection process to maximize the odds of making the best hire every time.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore strategies for systematically determining who are the best candidates for your organization's roles.
- Discover which selection methods are the best at predicting performance.
- Learn how to determine which assessment tools (of the thousands available) are the best for your unique purposes.
- See if your selection process is the best it can be, and positively impacting the metrics that matter most.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
