Hiring & Pre-Screening Resumes
Your employees are your most important resource; this is often the only difference between you and your competitor. Learn to hire smart as this is your only insurance against poor employees. In this program, you will focus on the hiring process which begins with the art of resume reading. Resumes contain both golden nuggets and booby traps.
Learn how to build a candidate profile in order to help you select those employees that fit your job criteria, your expected performance outcomes and your organizational culture. Invest in the time up front, as the alternative to hiring smart is to manage tough – which is much more time consuming.
