MIS-HIRES: HOW TO AVOID MAKING ONE AND HOW TO AVOID BEING ONE

Course overview

Ask anyone you know and they will be able to tell you a horror story about a hiring mistake. These are far too common in the workplace generally, and the laboratory/pathology practice is no exception. In this interactive session, participants will identify from case studies important knowledge, skills and practices critical to success at each phase of the hiring process. Key concepts to be covered will be continuous recruitment, honing, owning and maintaining the process, navigating the interview process with purpose and efficiency, other forms of assessment in advance of hiring, negotiation processes and due diligence, orientation and training, and continued recruitment. Approaching the process from both the perspective of the candidate for employment and the prospective employer will generate enhanced value to participants.
