Transform from Hiring Manager to Skilled Interviewer

WEBINAR

Wednesday, July 1 • 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)

Hiring decisions have long-term consequences

Today’s hiring environment makes interviewing more critical than ever. “Skill fishing” is real, and AI allows applicants to present impeccable credentials on paper, only to hide or mask many of the core job requirements that they’re lacking.

How do you find the “real candidate” behind the résumé hype? Further, candidates are evaluating you just as much as you’re evaluating them, and a weak or inconsistent interview process can cost you top talent. The most effective interviewers take a structured, thoughtful approach—one that uncovers not just skills, but motivation, adaptability and long-term fit.

In this session, you’ll learn how to move beyond surface-level conversations and conduct interviews that lead to better hiring decisions. By using proven techniques and emotionally intelligent questioning, you can identify high-probability hires—candidates who are both technically capable and aligned with your organization’s culture.

Interviewing is part instinct—but it’s also a skill that can be developed. With the right framework, questions and evaluation methods, you can improve consistency, reduce hiring mistakes and increase your success rate in selecting candidates who will thrive.

WEBINAR AGENDA:

Assess compatibility with your department’s culture.
Understand candidates’ career progression and reasons for leaving past roles.
Evaluate willingness to take on responsibilities beyond the job description.
Identify work-style preferences, change readiness and openness to feedback.
Ask structured, behavior-based questions that reveal past performance and future potential.
Avoid common interviewing pitfalls that lead to poor hiring decisions.

✔ Ask emotionally intelligent questions that reveal a candidate’s true motivations and fit.

✔ Lead more meaningful interview conversations that improve hiring decisions and candidate experience.

✔ Conduct more effective reference checks and extend offers with greater confidence of acceptance.
