Identifying, hiring and retaining people with the right characteristics to meet and exceed organizational goals...

People are the most important component to an organization's ability to achieve its goals and stay ahead of the competition. Unfortunately, finding, hiring and retaining people who have the right skills and fit the organization's culture is not a simple task. Mistakes in the hiring process lead to costly turnover and reductions in productivity. These costs include: recruitment expenses, salary while the employee is working but unproductive, relocation fees, loss of team productivity and morale, and lost time for interviewing, training and managing.

Effective Hiring

Engaged Strategies uses a behavioral approach for hiring that helps you consistently select candidates who have the right skills for the job and are the right fit for the organization. The behavioral approach accurately identifies the combination of skills and personal characteristics needed to excel. It then focuses on how the candidate used these factors in past jobs.

Clients learn how to:

• Identify the job-specific and organization-specific characteristics required to excel
• Get beyond canned responses often provided by candidates
• Assess applicants and rate their responses
• Sell the job and the organization
• Apply useful techniques to handle challenging candidates
• Comply with legal requirements
