How important IS selecting the right employee?

According to Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, putting the right employee in the right seat on the right bus - your organization - is the critical distinguishing factor in moving a company from just Good to GREAT.

The selection process is both an ART and a SCIENCE. 
Interviewing is an ART and all hiring managers MUST be trained to ensure that they are utilizing legal and effective questions that will blow through the smoke and require the applicant to describe what they have done in the past as it applies to this future position within your company.  Jill Hickman Companies can train your team with legal and effective, behavioral-based questions.  Don't just HOPE your managers know how to interview - guarantee it, and better yet - prove it with training records.

Providing reliable and valid assessments is the SCIENCE.   Assessments can include job testing, skill testing, personality testing, and aptitude testing.  The assessments that Jill Hickman Companies offers below can help organizations ensure that the candidate who most closely matched the requirements of the position was hired!  Reduce your hiring mistakes, save money, lower your turnover rates, AND reduce your worry.

Training is important, but selection is critical. 
There are some skills, talents, and qualities that you just can't train.
