Summary

“I know in the first 5 minutes of the interview whether this person is worth hiring.” Many people say this and, to their detriment, practice this form of selection method. But does it select the best candidate for the position? Some argue yes, but one of the hallmarks of highly successful organizations is that they achieve success through effective workforce management. Being highly selective in choosing employees is a key ingredient in their success. They invest in the development and use of appropriate selection methods and tools such as the development of sophisticated interviewing practices, the use of a variety of testing procedures and a methodical review and assessment of the responses and backgrounds of the candidates.

In this session, we will explore and discuss some of these selection methodologies to help you become more selective and make the best hiring decision or recommendation for your organization.
