Interviewing and Hiring Practices

Managers or supervisors responsible for hiring have a direct impact on building a strong, qualified workforce for their employer. Everything they say and do during the interviewing and hiring process has a profound impact on the organization, from developing worker productivity to creating a competitive edge. Missteps on the recruitment path may not only lead to the hiring of an unqualified person, but may also lead to legal actions against the employer.

It is important that each person representing the company in the interviewing and hiring process does it properly and consistently. Without such training each individual could adopt his or her own system for hiring. Not only would such procedures create unfair hiring situations, but it could also open the company up to legal ramifications.

The goal of this course is to make sure managers or supervisors appreciate the gravity of their job and to teach them the important aspects regarding interviewing and hiring practices. As with other HR Classroom trainings, employers can fully document trainee activity. Your organization’s own policy can also be inserted directly into each training.
