candidate selection training

“The Team with the best players wins”

People get hired for what they know, and fired for who they are.

The most important responsibility any manager has is hiring people. The challenge is that few managers hire well, and average hiring leads to weak links in a team. A weak link in the team translates into performance that is sub par, as well as employee turnover.

We provide training and the tools for managers to hire the best possible candidates for your business. Our process will enable you and your people to hire the best candidate for the role you are trying to fill. Managers are very good at assessing a candidate’s skill sets, but the real challenge lies with a candidate’s culture fit. Even if the most skilled candidate does not fit your culture, they are doomed to fail.

Our training in one day will improve your company's selection practices forever. Our process will create an interviewing experience where a prospective hire will tell you more about themselves that they would in any interview. We want your prospect to tell you who they really are, and when somebody tells you who they are, believe them.

Let us help you select the best candidates for the role.  The process works, the process is easy to learn, and the return on investment is extremely high.
