Description:

Streamlined, targeted, and effective: Three words that might be used to sum up the perfect interview. Getting to interview nirvana, however, can prove very challenging, especially for departmental managers who must balance interviewing with a kitchen sink’s worth of other must-have skills.

Assembling an effective team takes preparation and vision. Not only do your managers need to evaluate whether a candidate is right for a position today, they also need to focus on how productive he or she may be within your organization’s structure in the future.

Order this in-depth audio conference recording targeted toward line managers who crave a systematic, effective approach for handling the interview process and want the confidence of knowing that they’re picking the best people for their teams.
