NEW HIRES: HOW TO FIND THEM, HOW TO KEEP THEM
| |
| How do you reduce turnover? One way is to eliminate much of the subjectivity of the selection process.

The Physics of Recruiting- Be A Magnet for Talent
| |
| If YOU (as the recruiter, HR, or hiring manager) are being the magnet, then you should be able to attract the "right" candidates and repulse the wrong candidates. Are you with me?
