SKILLFUL Talent 102: Candidate Evaluation

Most companies hire people for their technical skills, but fire them for their lack of soft skills. Research suggests that 75% of success in every job is foundational skills and behaviors, yet, the screening and interview processes tend to concentrate almost entirely on candidate's technical skills. Why? Because it's hard to evaluate candidates for soft skills.

How do you tell the difference between a candidate with great interviewing skills and a candidate who has the skills that will set them up for success in the role?

By emphasizing candidate's skills in the interview and through skill assessments that test for the specific competencies new employees will need to succeed in their role, you'll be able to double the effectiveness of your interview process and choose the candidate most likely to succeed.

In SKILLFUL Talent 102: Candidate Evaluation, an interactive workshop developed by Skillful Colorado and presented by the Boulder Chamber, you'll learn how to:
  • Avoid losing out  on qualified talent in the screening process
  • Craft interview questions to elicit candidates' occupational and foundational (also known as "hard" and "soft") skills
  • Select and design an assessment to accurately evaluate candidates' skills
By evaluating candidates based on their skills, you distill the interviewing and evalution processes to its essentials and are more likely to find your next great employee.

This program is valid for a total of 1.5 PDCs for the SHRM-CP(r) or SHRM-SCP(r).
