Course Overview

The face-to-face interview is the most important step in the hiring process. Many employers are not aware of the responsibility of the task. Personal interviews and employment applications are the most frequently used tools for selecting the best-qualified candidates for employment.

Hiring a talented and hard-working employee is a vital part of running a successful business. But it’s not always easy – nor is it risk-free. Make one wrong move, and a job seeker could sue your company for discriminatory or unfair hiring practices. In this climate of heightened attention and regulatory enforcement, you can’t afford to cut corners when hiring. Strict compliance with employment laws comes into play at nearly every stage – from writing a job description and placing an ad to interviewing and screening applicants.

It is important to keep in mind when designing interview questions—and throughout all your interactions with job candidates—that you aim to find a qualified person to fill a position. Employment and civil rights laws protect job-seekers from being excluded because of factors unrelated to their qualifications.

Hiring new talent can be complicated and exhausting. While you’re conducting interviews and assessing each candidate’s merits, applicants are also evaluating you and your company. The hiring process is more complex than choosing the right person for the job. You must attract and secure the best candidates whose values align with your company’s mission and principles.

This CPE course will help every employer understand everything about Interviewing Do’s and Don’ts.

Major topics covered in this online PDC/ RCH webinar:

  • Prepare a proper plan by listing out what can or cannot be asked in an interview
  • Techniques to be used for evaluating answers given by candidates
  • Prepare legally viable interview questions
  • How to create a positive impact on candidate mindset about you and your organization

This was a very well planned and presented webinar. The instructor hit the points while trying to cover all important data in a limited amount of time. She went from one topic to the next very smoothly and explained the reasoning for most laws or limitations.

Great opportunity to learn about the different interviewing do’s and don’ts, especially those sensitive questions that may seem innocent (asking a candidate about their family or kids), but carry serious implications.
