This course teaches interviewers how to make the best hiring decisions by collecting high-quality behavioral data around job-related criteria for success. Interviewers build their skills in using an objective, consistent, and unbiased process for evaluating candidate data, and learn how sharing their data and considering the data that other interviewers have collected leads to hiring the best candidate every time.

Helps interviewers:

• Measure candidates against well-defined job criteria (knowledge, experience, competencies, and motivations).
• Focus interview questions on job-related behaviors.
• Avoid bias by focusing hiring decisions and promotions on the job requirements and data instead of on feelings or impressions.
• Follow a consistent and methodical process to evaluate data for every candidate.
• Integrate candidate information from multiple interviewers to make the best hiring decision.

Class will be held at the Arkadelphia Alliance and Chamber, 201 N. 26th, Arkadelphia, AR 71923.
