We have many widely held beliefs when it comes to hiring and many of the things we BELIEVE are true … probably aren’t. In this #TalentTalk webinar we explore commonly held assumptions and dismantle conventional thinking about some of HR’s sacred cows related to job postings, the interview process, and the rigorous demands we place on candidates.
