This presentation will cover the results of two years of research conducted by the Manufacturing Executive Institute into why so many manufacturing companies continue to hire individuals to fill critical roles, who subsequently do not meet performance expectations. Conclusions derived from this research will surely surprise you… especially the study’s conclusions about recruiter’s & interviewer’s perspectives on the leading indicators of high-performance.

Irrespective of recessionary economic times, companies compete for talent at every turn. And yet, the interviewing & candidate evaluation processes in most companies are clearly broken… because interviewers often fall prey to SIX specific interviewing dysfunctions. Methods for overcoming these six candidate evaluation dysfunctions will be dissected & presented.

This presentation has three distinct objectives:

• First Objective… to define the critical importance of understanding & quantifying certain critical competencies & personal characteristics BEFORE a person is hired.
• Second Objective… to succinctly present a useable framework for evaluating job candidates that will lead to substantially better results.
• Third Objective… to stimulate thinking around the types of employees an organization really needs.

Participants will be provided with a proven framework to conduct interviews that lead to better hiring and substantially better outcomes.
