Hiring the wrong talent can have a staggering impact on your company’s bottom line. Aside from a drop in morale and productivity, bringing on the wrong person costs businesses between $11,000 and $24,000 per year. According to HR guru Rex Conner, that can all be avoided by following his fool-proof formula for hiring success.
“We typically have subjectively vague job descriptions and requirements, and then we conduct job interviews that are only partially effective,” says Conner, author of What if Common Sense Was Common Practice in Business? “But finding the perfect fit is possible, it just takes more time than we’re used to spending. And there are 7 key steps to make it happen.”
In an engaging and thought-provoking interview, Conner can discuss:
How to divide a job’s required talents into two groups: the prerequisite skills, and those that will be learned on the job
The best ways to translate your requirements in order to make them understandable on job listings
How to nail a job interview—as the interviewer: What to look out for, and how to determine whether a person is a good fit
What it takes to hire—and retain—the best talent
