Course Description

The selection of the right person for a job is one of the most important decisions that a company or supervisor can make. With the cost of turnover between 20 and 200% of an employee’s annual salary* (depending on skill level and position), hiring decisions also have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line.

In Hiring Practices for Equity & Excellence, participants will learn essential practices to use throughout the hiring process. Participants will identify key strategies to increase equity in interviewing using behaviorally-based questions. They will learn to reduce interview bias by incorporating a candidate scoring matrix while identifying common pitfalls that can increase an organization’s legal risk throughout the hiring process.
