Explore practical approaches to hiring based on empirical best practices and experience
Hiring decisions are expensive, high stakes, and fraught with complexity. Estimates of the cost of a bad hire are somewhere between 30% to 150% of annual salary when the costs of termination, recruiting effort, reduced productivity, lost opportunity, and reputational damage are considered.
This course draws on empirical best practices and experience, with hundreds of recruitment processes, to offer practical approaches to hiring that can improve the quality of the hiring decision and the candidate’s experience of the hiring process.
The course also provides an opportunity to learn the skills needed to effectively lead and participate in hiring experienced accountants, managers, and leaders.
