"Attitude" - A Missing Piece in Hiring!"
Presenter: Ms. Carol Quinn - CEO, Hire Authority
Making a hiring decision based on an applicant's skill level alone will decrease your chances of a hiring success. Why? Because it takes more than just skill to succeed! Job skill suggests a person can do the job. It does not guarantee they will do it better than anyone else. This presentation is about how to incorporate "attitude" assessment into your interview process so you can more accurately identify and hire the High Performers. This is a fast-paced one-hour, fun and interactive workshop.
