Effective Interviewing Skills

Seminar Outline:

If your organization believes that having excellent employees is critical to producing excellent results, then you must pay close attention to the quality of your hiring process. The people you hire today have a direct impact on the profitability of your company, both in the near term, and often for years to come. A good interview technique can help you match the best people with the right jobs and build a bright future for everyone involved.
