The Difference
Hiring decisions in today's downsized workforce are more critical than ever. Selection Interviewing focuses on the dynamics of the interview process to assure that every new hire becomes a valued contributor to your organization. In order to make an intelligent informed decision, the interview must be well planned, organized and informative. Participants will leave with the tools and skills necessary to thoroughly and fairly assess each candidate and to conduct the interview with integrity and confidence.

Selection Interviewing covers every phase of the interviewing process: preparing for the interview, reviewing resumes, conducting the interview and assessing the candidate. The Behavioral Event Interview, a highly successful interview technique, is a vital component of the workshop.
