Are You A Good Interviewer? Top 10 Interviewing Skills

One of the major responsibilities of recruiters is to interview job candidates. Yet rarely are they formally trained or evaluated on this skill. And job interviews are notorious for not predicting whether a candidate is equipped to be successful in a job- research suggests most organizations would have better luck choosing whom to hire by flipping a coin. It should be simple to conclude that to improve the hiring process at an organization, the interview, and therefore by extension the interviewer, should be improved. 

Easier said than done, right? Recruiters and hiring managers alike are victims of their own hubris- have you ever met one who said they didn't think they were good at interviewing? The first step is to objectively identify one's own weaknesses. The next is to attend this webcast, where we'll cover the top 10 skills needed to be a good interviewer.

Modernizing Staffing in Federal Government

Corporate Ladder to Corporate Lattice™ Aligning the workplace with today's non-traditional workforce

The corporate workforce has, in two short generations, completely transformed. From changing family structures, to women now being the majority of the entry level workforce, to aging baby boomers and the arrival of Generation Y, never before have the collective characteristics of the employee changed so much in so little time.

Mass Career Customization (“MCC”) provides an approach that responds to today’s realities on how work gets done and careers are built. Join Cathy Benko, co-author, as she describes the changing talent landscape and why the corporate ladder, longstanding metaphor for career progression is giving way to the corporate lattice™.
