Summary

The traditional approach to sourcing applicants by focusing on the best academic credentials – top colleges, name brand universities and GPAs – is leaving a huge gap between qualified candidates and degree holders. A degree does not guarantee job performance, and employers are missing out on a wider pool of skilled candidates.

In today's work environment, smart employers realize that they need to seek out as well as hire people with practical experience, instinct, and initiative.

In this 60-minute program, HR expert Michelle Coussens will show you how to take a closer look at your current hiring practices and provide effective ways to find a wider pool of qualified applicants. Join us to learn:

The skills typical business professionals need for today and “tomorrow”
How to cultivate and attract “STARS” (“Skilled Through Alternative Routes”)
Steps to move past credentials flash to performance splash
Ways to find the best candidates without deferring to traditional default criteria
What leading companies are doing, and what you can learn from them
