Staffing Solutions: Hiring Right The First Time

Do you rely on “post and pray” for recruiting? Attracting talent is more than placing a traditional ad. In today’s competitive world, candidates have choices, many choices. In this workshop, participants will explore alternative methods to recruitment and learn about solid interviewing strategies to build upon their current strategies.

Why should a candidate choose your company? What is your competitive edge? Would you work for you? Let’s step up recruitment, play to your strengths, and connect with the talent looking for a company like yours!

It’s true! Hiring the right employees is a critical business management function that helps you get more done, grow your business, lighten your load and broaden the skills and capabilities of your company. It can also be a significant expense, energy drain and distraction when your selection process fails. This workshop will provide you with a strong foundation of knowledge and practical tools to use whether you’re hiring your first employee or the 100th.

You’ll be guided through an overview of the legal issues of interviewing and hiring, determining your priorities for skills as well as how to efficiently prescreen, interview and select your employees. As a bonus, you will receive an overview of traditional and social media recruitment techniques including how to use social media for recruitment and applicant pool building. You will leave this workshop with techniques and interview questions in hand aimed at helping you choose the best people so you can hire right the first time.
