Overview

An effective recruiting process can be a significant driver of success, where a business focuses its resources on the best ways to locate highly qualified candidates. The Recruiting and Hiring course shows how to achieve this level of success by discussing the methods that can be used to locate the best candidates, and attracting them with well-written job specifications. The course also describes general hiring principles, preliminary screening activities, how to conduct an interview, and the best way to manage the reference checking process. It also notes how to evaluate candidates, describes the job offer, and addresses how to handle counteroffers. In short, the course is a guide for creating an effective recruiting and hiring system.
