Hiring Skills: Behavioral Selection Interviewing
This course will give you the hiring skills you need to get past “typical” interview responses and collect valuable information for more accurate decision making and better hiring.

The costs of a wrong hiring decision can be tremendous, and the impact on you and your business can be significant.
