INTERVIEW TRAINING WEBINARS
Prevent the hiring mistakes that cost companies millions every year.
Great interview training is key to preventing the hiring mistakes that cost companies millions every year.
Why would companies neglect to provide training on such a critical business skill?
Some companies assume that smart managers will be able to “figure it out.” However, even the brightest executives can benefit from learning best practices and additional interviewing techniques.
Other companies do offer training, but busy managers feel they can’t take the time away from pressing day-to-day responsibilities.
They may not realize how improving their interview skills can save them hours of time in the long run. They will be able to conduct more focused, productive interviews and see fewer candidates for every position.
Multiple studies show when managers have the proper training and preparation, they make better hiring decisions.

Dear Pam,
You were the highlight of our week of meetings! The presentation you gave to my team on Interviewing Techniques was excellent.
As we have unique needs and practices for hiring, I appreciate that you tailored the content to fit my team’s needs. The exercises you designed were a great way to provide hands-on, practical learning experiences. Not only that, but your seminar provided an engaging forum for us to ask questions and voice opinions.
Everyone learned a tremendous amount that day. I checked with my team last week on the topic and they have all started implementing the lessons they took away.
Thank you again for such an informative and pleasant experience.
