How to effectively use Pre-Hire Assessments for Improved Employee Selection

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Rushed, gut-feel hiring leads to mistakes and early turnover. This 60-minute webinar shows how to use pre-hire assessments to measure the job skills and personality traits needed for top performance in key roles.

You'll learn what types of assessments exist and when to use them, best practices for choosing assessments for roles from front-line customer service to the C-suite, and how to build a profile of a successful candidate based on your own top performers.

The session also covers job fit, what can go wrong in selection and how to account for it, what to do when a candidate isn't a good fit, and a checklist of criteria for choosing assessments that avoid liability.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Ineffective selection costs money. Assessments help you reduce bias, avoid hiring mistakes and put people in jobs that suit both their skills and your culture, reducing early turnover.

This session suits HR professionals, executives, directors, area supervisors and managers who are considering pre-hire assessments but aren't sure where to start.
