Course Description
Did you know that the average cost to hire a new employee is more than $4,000?
And if that wasn’t enough, consider this:
It takes an average of 27 working days to hire a new employee (an all time high!)
The best candidates for a job are off the market within 10 days
60% of candidates will quit an application because it takes too long
64% of applicants will share a negative application experience with friends and family, and 27% will go as far as actively discouraging others from applying to the company
Alarming statistics, wouldn’t you agree?
All signs seem to be pointing to the job market being stacked against you.
So the question then becomes …
Are you doing everything you can to attract, identify, and select the perfect candidates for your job?
Because, let’s face it … if your hiring process isn’t as effective and efficient as possible, you’re not only missing out on the best talent, you’re also wasting time and money trying to fill needed positions … and potentially damaging your company’s reputation.
So how exactly can you optimize your hiring process to attract the best candidates for the job and represent your company in the best way possible?
Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this course.
We’ll cover:
How to identify if and when a new hire is needed, and how to align them with your company’s goals and objectives
The role of a hiring manager, their responsibilities, and how they can be most effective
How to put together a great job posting that attracts the best talent
Where to look for talent and which tools can be used to help the process
Screening methods and techniques to identify the best possible candidates
How to promote diversity in your hiring process by using blind hiring techniques
How to conduct effective interviews and select the best candidate for the job
Making and negotiating job offers & onboarding new hires to your organization
By the end of this course, you'll have a great understanding of how to put yourself in the best position to attract, identify, and select the best candidates for any job you need to fill.
Let’s get to it!

I enjoyed this class because it was not complicated, was to the point, and full of helpful tips and reminders. Also, your plant in the background could use some love.

The lecture was well structured for the first stages of hiring to the final stages. It had many key points for attracting and hiring the right candidate. The only negative I have is some of the TV clips that are shown don't have sound and if you don't know the show you do not get the reference.

In the section of conducting effective interviews giving examples of few interview questions which can be asked would be more helpful
By Anonymized User on 1/24/2023
The lecture looks good, and has some key points, but not so insightful. Most of the things that I practice already. Looking for something unique or new-age techniques.
By Anonymized User on 5/24/2020
This course was very specific and easy to understand the process is very similar to the one we currently use in our company.
By Noreen Tjindra on 4/14/2020
I think it is a good course, however, i feel in hiring someone it needs intuition besides data. This intuition skill is the one that actually i want to learn and expect from this course.
By Adrian Mikeliunas on 4/14/2018
Great summary, great pace and to the point material! All bases were covered and my questions were answered!
By Fahad Hassan Noor on 11/21/2017
One of the best course. Highly recommended if any one want to hire the best candidate for their oraganization
By Duyen Cao on 11/17/2017
These are basic information for layman. The course gives a general view over the job, but not the specific for specialised information I was looking for
