Hiring Rock Stars and Avoiding Zombies: How to Improve Your Company's Interview and Hiring Processes
Thursday, April 26, 2018

Description:
This program explains how leaders can identify and hire top, currently-employed talent even without big recruiting budgets and internal recruiting departments. It explains that:

• If you are serious about having top talent throughout your company, you must start at the top.
• Mediocre leaders will not hire or keep great people on their teams.
• The CEO or team leader must be “Recruiter-in-Chief” and personally take responsibility for assembling the right team of leaders around him or her.
• To hire A-players, you and your leaders must regularly add to and cultivate your network of referral sources and superior talent. 
• You also must know how to leverage recruiters (internal and external) to help you fill a leadership role. Realistically, that is the only way to attract the number of well-qualified candidates you need to help ensure a great hire. 
• Once you find the right people, don’t mess up the candidate vetting process. Move quickly while being thorough enough to avoid the walking dead. 
• Plan upfront for how you are going to help a new hire get traction and avoid being an organ rejection.
