MASTERCLASS CONTENT

Hiring the right employees creates a strong foundation for excellence. But how should this be done? Which selection tools, or combination of selection tools, should managers use? The cost of hiring someone for the wrong position can cost as much as 30% of that employee’s annual salary and can be even higher when you take into consideration the risks of lost knowledge, tarnishing customer relationships, and disruption to teams. The bottom line is that good selection decisions make a difference.

The purpose of this Masterclass is to provide managers with information about which selection tools enable you to pick winners and which do not, despite their cost or sales promises. You will learn the underlying psychological principles about behavioural prediction and walk away with a clear set of strategies for selecting the next great contributor on your team.
