Behavior-based interviewing helps you hire people with both the right skills and the right fit. A poor fit never reaches full performance or engagement and tends to leave, and traditional interviewing predicts future success only about 10% of the time. Recruiting a replacement typically costs 50% to 100% of the person's annual salary.
New hires judge their decision from day one, and 70% decide whether to stay or leave within six months. This 60-minute webinar shows how to define job requirements and critical skills, align them with your culture, and assess what candidates actually did rather than what they say they would do.
You'll also learn where evaluation errors come from and how to build a planned hiring process from start to finish.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The right hire depends on matching talent (skills and abilities) with fit (personal, cultural and social). Behavioral interviewing gives companies practical tools to improve their new-hire process and build stronger teams.
This session suits leaders, managers, supervisors, HR professionals and organizational development professionals involved in selecting employees.
