The importance of "quality of hire" is now commonly accepted in the workplace.   It may even be one of your most frequently used phrases. But are you "walking the talk"?  Is quality of hire firmly embedded into all of your recruitment practices?  Are you using the best tools to ensure that you are getting the best match? Are you using them appropriately?  

The competition to recruit and retain the best candidates is accelerating.  Yet the goal should be to hire the "best" qualified, not just the "first" qualified.

Recent innovations and enhancements in technology have caused reference checking to emerge as an essential tool for the selection of the "best" candidates for your positions.  It is now an automated tool that has proved to be both time and cost efficient.  And it is clearly endorsed by all parties involved – by recruiters and hiring managers, as well as by job candidates and their business references. 

This web cast will explore the evolution of reference checking into a cutting-edge tool now being used by companies to improve quality of hire.  Reference-checking methodologies (written, telephone, and automated) will be evaluated as to efficiency, effectiveness, and adherence to today's professional guidelines. 

Regardless of what you are currently using, learn the value of:
Consistency in use
Freedom from bias
Documentation of results
Validation against success on the job

All attendees of this web cast will receive... Free trial of award winning SkillSurvey Pre-Hire 360™ automated reference checking. Trial users will also receive a Professional Membership for the Human Capital Institute ($299 value) when the free trial is launched by December 31, 2007.
