PeopleAnswers Presents New Interviewing Strategies in a National Webinar December 17, 2009

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 7, 2009 - On December 17 at 2 p.m. EST, Dr. Jason Taylor, Chief Science Officer at PeopleAnswers, will present a 90-minute webinar entitled “Performance-Based Interviewing: Strategies to Identify the Game-Changers in your Candidate Pool.” Hosted by the Institute of Management and Administration (IOMA), Dr. Taylor offers interviewers (or those who manage interviewers) solutions to the challenge of building a list of customized questions that are specific to each candidate and relate directly to performance in the role.

True success in interviewing comes when you tap into two valuable resources: actual on-the-job performance metrics, and, if available, a science-based, validated behavioral assessment. When objective performance data is united with a quality assessment, targeted interview questions can be generated for every candidate
across a vast spectrum of work behaviors.

Dr. Taylor is a veteran of the assessment industry. Speaking from real experiences in assessment technology, coaching, and interviewing, he will help webinar attendees to:

•   Understand how performance metrics and assessment data relate to one another when selecting interview topics that reveal a candidate’s fit to a position.
•   Discover how to become familiar with the established behaviors of every potential hire—BEFORE they enter your office door for the interview.
•   Learn ways to pinpoint specific work behaviors that require a “deeper dive” during the interview session, with or without a behavioral assessment.

The webinar format allows you to participate in this session in the comfort of your own office or to include your entire team in a conference room setting. To register for the webinar “Performance-Based Interviewing: Strategies to Identify the Game-Changers in your Candidate Pool” to be presented Thursday, December 17, 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST (1:00-2:30 p.m. CST), visit the IOMA website prior to the session and select the title at http://www.ioma.com/webinars/1327.html.
