SMARTER Hiring & Interviewing Workshop

Interviewing does not have to be dreaded by managers.

SMARTER Hiring is focused 100% on giving your hiring managers the skills and confidence they need to hire right the first time.

Has this ever happened?

You hired someone who had the pedigree, credentials, the years of experience, and, to top that, they interviewed well, YET 6+ months after your hire them you discover they are not a good fit.

Most interviewers can identify the skills and qualifications needed to perform the job at hand. But do they know how to take those skills and experience and translate them to motivations, behaviors, and most importantly future performance?

A tough reality.

Skills, resume, and credentials CANNOT accurately predict on-the-job success. We go beyond behavioral interviewing to help your interviewers determine how a candidate’s past performance will connect to the future success, motivations, and culture fit.

“All of the content was great – the frameworks are highly relevant and clearly customized to our company. It was perfect timing since I got to use some of these tips when I interviewed a candidate this week!”

– Heather

Hire SMARTER

We do not deliver pre-packaged, generic interviewing training.

Our SMARTER HIRING workshop series is customized to meet your hiring challenges, culture and positions. We work with you ahead of time to understand what kind of challenges you’re facing around recruiting and interviewing talent, develop learning goals, and strategize how we can help motivate your hiring managers to do things differently.

We do not deliver pre-packaged, generic interviewing training.

We Build A Knowledge Bridge So Managers Will Learn:

How to define what success will look like prior to recruiting, interviewing, and hiring so that Hiring Managers can create accurate, compelling job scopes.
How to translate your job descriptions into specific behaviors and hiring criteria that will align interviewers on the success predictors for an open position.
Validate past performance through proper interviewing so you can hire a top performer vs. a top candidate.
How to conduct reliable and accurate phone interviews and screen culture-fit in the first conversation.
How to set up a quality and structured interview process that is consistent across all hiring managers. A good hiring process with effective recruiting techniques, the right interviewers, focused on the right criteria, and an engaging experience.
How to create and leverage not the most commonly practiced behavioral questions but instead learn how to create best-practice accomplishment-driven, situational and culture-fit questions to uncover evidence of depth of experience, knowledge, cognitive ability, motivators, past performance, and future potential – all predictors of future success.
How to objectively evaluate candidates who align to your positions and culture.
How to address judgments, unreliable gut feelings, and eliminate biases.
How to write quality feedback that objectively/legally justifies your hiring decision.
How to create a great candidate experience no matter what the outcome.

A day of hard work

Participants will have the opportunity to critique real job postings, create Talent Profiles, conduct mock interviews, roleplay, write interview questions and learn to evaluate talent against Talent Scorecards with the goal of connecting past performance to future performance in order to make an accurate hiring decision based on facts not gut feelings.

Built the way you want to do business

Prior to the training we conduct an online survey with leadership & hiring manager informational interviews to learn – first hand – their skills level and what they need from this workshop so that they leave with practical, actionable strategies and tactics that they WANT to use.

Learnings & Takeaways

Participants will receive practical tools designed to help them post-workshop, in the real world. These are easy-to-use, editable templates designed to reinforce the best practices and start building better interviewing skills immediately.
