Advanced Hiring and Firing

Early Friday morning, Mel Kleiman, CSP and president of Humetrics, gave his keynote address on the tough decisions of human resources professionals. The presentation, entitled "Hire Tough, Manage Easy," proved to be beneficial to the entire audience dealing with "turkeys" and "eagles."

Using a visual demonstration, employing the help of two appropriate Beanie Babies, Kleiman detailed the specifics of the interview and hiring process. Of course everyone knows how to conduct an interview, Kleiman said, but few know how to do it right.

For example, employers usually outline the duties for the position before they even let the interviewee speak. As a result, the individual applying for the job only tells the HR rep what they want to hear. It might sound like a simple process, but many business owners conduct it incorrectly.
