Identifying and Hiring Top-Performing Employees Training coming soon!

A good interview and selection process is an investment.  That’s why the HR Employment Department has spent the last several months designing and developing a training program to assist managers with hiring responsibilities. The training will be rolling out in early May 2008.

The interview is generally the first impression of a future employee, and that process can set the tone for the future working relationship. Using a systematic and consistent method during the selection process will greatly increase the chances that you and your new employee will have a mutually beneficial relationship over the long term.

It is the goal and responsibility of the Employment Department to assist and ensure that all departments within the University of Houston identify and hire the most qualified candidate for their open positions. The purpose of this training is to assist and guide hiring managers through the recruiting and hiring process. We also want to greatly minimize any legal ramifications that could result from any inadvertent discriminatory practices.

Please contact your HR Generalist or Employment Recruiter to set up a time for us to come by and deliver the training program to the hiring managers in your departments. Until we are able to reach everyone, please consider using our online manager’s toolbox resource at http://www.uh.edu/hr/employment/toolbox/ManagersToolBox.htm.
