Since it's critical to make the right hire, not just any hire, it's important to be at the leading edge of best selection and hiring practices. Dr. Steven Hunt, author of "Hiring Success" will share insights to help organizations improve the accuracy and efficiency of selection and hiring decisions and effectively incorporate scientific behavioral assessments into their staffing process. "Many organizations believe that lowering their hiring standards is an inevitable reality in this fiercely competitive labor market. While this may be necessary in some cases, there are a range of systematic staffing tools that companies can use to rapidly identify quality applicants while minimizing the danger of making bad hires. But surprisingly few companies are fully aware of these tools and how to effectively use them." said Dr. Hunt. This webcast will help you balance the need to increase applicant flow against the risk of making the wrong hiring decisions, to make the right hiring decisions by design.
