The federal hiring process requires patience. If you’ve finally been granted approval to fill a position, you may be tempted to get someone hired as quickly as possible. But, wait just a moment. Take the time to do it correctly.
This interactive half-day virtual training will prepare managers for conducting legal and successful job interviews. Barbara Haga will share guidance on how to make the most out of interviewing and checking references, from crafting an accurate position description, to asking the right questions, to assessing a candidate’s ability to perform the job.
Topics include:
- Preparing defensible questions for applicants
- Using behavior-based questions to get answers about depth of experience and knowledge
- The requirement to interview all and ask the exact same questions of all candidates – myth or reality?
- Interview practices that work and things to avoid
- Reference checking – getting job-related information from current and past supervisors
Whether you’re in HR or are a supervisor who is looking to hire someone, you’ll want to be sure to make plans to join us. Register today!
