Screening Applicants
Overview/Description
You've done your homework. You understand the importance of effective hiring, you've considered all of your hiring options, and you've effectively marketed the job opportunities in your organization using a behavioral-based job description. Applicants are pouring in. What do you do next? You must become skilled at screening applicants so that you can narrow the field to the group of individuals who appear to be best suited to the needs of your organization. In this course, you'll learn how to use applications, resumes, phone calls, and references as screening tools. You'll learn what information to look for, how to assess behavioral information that is provided to you, and how to pick up on "red flags."
