The overall strategic purpose of the Get the Right People on the Bus training program is to provide you the necessary skills and strategies to attract and retain quality personnel that continuously contribute to the success of your company from the day you hire them as long as they are employed by you.

Most entrepreneurial managers have a general idea of what kind of person they want to hire. They rely on their experience and natural ability to decide. Many times their hiring decision is based on a well-written resume. Unfortunately, having a general idea, relying on experience, and/or basing their decision on an impressive resume are not sufficient. Research says that you cannot find the right person for the position unless you have:

1. Clear, detailed and performance-related selection criteria. You need to know what personal qualities, knowledge, proven skills and abilities the person you are looking for must have in order to be successful in the position(s) for which you are hiring.

2. A well-planned interview strategy. Once you are clear about what type of personnel you are looking for, you must think through the interview process and develop questions to uncover the “real” person and to identify whether the candidate possesses the qualifications you are seeking.

3. A formal candidate evaluation process. Once you have interviewed candidates, you need a systematic way to record information, compare different candidates and objectively assess each candidate against the selection criteria you have established.

No interviewing process or manager is perfect. Interviewing and selecting the right candidate for each key position is challenging. But taking a more thoughtful and systematic approach will increase the probability of finding qualified, motivated people who will contribute to growing your business successfully.

Join us for this interactive day-long seminar where you will learn how to:

• Assess the impact hiring decisions have on you and your business.

• Improve the selection criteria you use for selecting employees who are in alignment with your business culture and values.

• Develop an interview structure that increases your ability to identify each candidate's match with the critical job needs, based on their knowledge, skills, and attributes.

• Prepare and ask questions which produce relevant insights into a candidate's willingness and ability to perform on the job.

• Identify factors which help and hinder the process for evaluating candidates.

• Systematically assess each candidate's qualifications and fit for the job for the short and long terms.

• Identify your recruiting, interviewing, and selection strengths and improvement opportunities
