Course Description
Every manager knows that to be successful, a company needs to build teams of employees who are the top in their field, work well together, and are happy in the company. However, it is often difficult for managers to find and hire the best people. In this course, you will practice techniques that will empower you to do just that—to hire the best candidate every time through strategies that will improve your success in interviewing.

Prerequisites: It is extremely important that you check with your Human Resources department to become aware of both your company's hiring policies and procedures as well as the legalities involved in the interviewing process.
