Integrating Performance Management into the Hiring Process

Course details

Most hiring processes emphasize what a person must have to even be considered for the job. By reversing the process and emphasizing what a person will do and become, it's possible to attract a bigger pool of more outstanding and diverse people. In this course, Lou Adler, president of The Adler Group, shows you how to use this valuable approach when writing job descriptions, posting job ads, and interviewing candidates. Learn to think in terms of a hiring system, look for great hires instead of just great candidates, and shift from a transactional to a consultative hiring process. Go over an effective prehire process and find out how to create the employee value proposition. Explore ways to use an evidence-based deductive interview process and check out Lou’s hiring formula for success. Plus, discover practical ways to deliver on your win-win hiring promise.
