You can create a culture of loyalty and high performance and cut your hiring mistakes by focusing on the first day unchangeable core qualities required for the position and building a culture where people feel welcomed, empowered and valuable.This practical, hands on presentation/workshop will help you build a clear profile of who you are looking for, offer interview strategies to gather information related to that profile and examine how to process that information gathered and the ultimate question of whether they will thrive in the job and culture or not.
