"6 Keys to Making Great Hiring Decisions"

Greg Mechler, President, The Human Advantage, Inc.

 

About the Program

 

Greg Mechler has spent over 30 years working and consulting in the area of effective hiring methods. He has personally hired hundreds of top performing managers, executives, and front line workers. This presentation is designed to help small business owners make better hiring decisions so they always hire the top performer.  Hiring top performers cannot be left to chance – it requires a great system. Greg will cover 6 steps to take that will dramatically improve your ability to select the right person. Attendees will receive a very useful “Hire Right” kit to use at their office.

Six Keys to success are:

  2. Know what you want to get done – focus on results
  3. “Can do” - results focused interviews
  4. Effective assessments to measure attributes and skills
  5. Thorough due diligence
  6. Decide – then sell
