Impact on the Organization

Selecting the best people for each job is the single most important step you can take to achieve superior organizational performance.

• Identify the components of an effective interview
• Identify the legal issues involved in interviewing candidates
• Understand the benefits of proper preparation and use strategies to find the “right fit”

Participants will learn better ways to uncover evidence during an interview that the candidate can do the job well, and has the right behavior and character traits. The module introduces end-to-end guidelines that will help managers prepare, begin, and conduct interviews, and then follow up afterwards. Crucial legal issues associated with interviewing are also examined, including questions that interviewers may not ask.
