Employee Selection What an Interviewer Must
Know!
The typical employment interview is a
surprisingly poor predictor of job performance,
and this has not changed much over the years.
Most interviewers spend their time talking at the
candidate, rather than focusing on key areas that
are most likely to point to success or failure.
Ratings from many popular selection tools used as
a companion to the interview process have little
relation to success on the job. Over the past
thirty years, there has been a tremendous amount
of investigation into what works and what
doesnt. Applied research in the field of human
resource management has much to teach us with
regard to structuring the employee selection
process to increase productivity and reduce
turnover. Employee Selection What an
Interviewer Must Know! integrates these findings
with practical tools that have immediate
application. Whether you want to know how to
structure an interview, or want to know what
makes sense in your current process, this course
is for you.
