Hi Todd,
When it comes to assessing talent, a job interview may be
one of the least reliable tools you can use.
Study after study has proven that interviews are lousy
predictors of future success. And to make matters worse,
they have been shown to limit diversity.
So what can you do to better assess job candidates?
This issue of Innovations is dedicated to helping you
improve your hiring process. In our Innovative Idea,
you'll find 13 creative--and effective--tools that will
help you improve screening accuracy.
And our Best Practice will show you how a lesson or two
from the boy scouts can make a positive impact on your
hiring results.
I hope you enjoy these ideas, and if you need any help
with your screening process, feel free to give me a call.
Best regards,
PrideStaff Modesto

BEST PRACTICES
Make Like a Boy Scout:
Prepare to improve the quality of your hires
A great candidate will prepare extensively for an interview
with your company--taking the time to become familiar with
your services, history and industry challenges.
But do you do as much preparation?
Most companies don't. In fact, outside of HR, few managers
ever receive training in the hiring process. And the most
common interview is the "seat of the pants" style, which is
filled with unplanned questions that have little value.
At PrideStaff, we're committed to helping employers hire
better. And this best practice will show you how to improve
your interview process and make your organization more
competitive in attracting the best and brightest talent.
