I promised to share with you the most fantastic interview

process that is not the stock standard way of conducting

new employee interviews. Believe me, it works brilliantly.

                                                            It will save you      

                                                            tons of time and    

                                                            will deliver the      

                                                            best results. If you

                                                            follow the steps    

                                                            exactly, you will be

                                                            so excited, you will

                                                            never do it the old

                                                            way again.

This system may take you out of

your comfort zone. But hey! That’s

the way we all grow – by doing

something outside our comfort

zone. And, as I promised, do this

once and you will want to do it this

way every time in the future.

And there is absolutely nothing

stopping you continuing to

conduct these interviews the

traditional way. For some of

you and for some positions,

that will always be the way. I’m

not trying to talk you out of that.

Come in, WE’RE

HIRING

Page 3: Building Your A Team Part 4: Information Seminars & Flash Interviews

The process I want to tell youabout is variously known as a

recruiting or hiring oremployment or staffing

seminar – or you could call itan information seminar orsession or event, and theshort interview is usuallyreferred to as a short or a

flash interview.

For the purposes of this topic, I’ll use the terms

Information Seminar and Flash Interview – and I do usesome of the other names I’ve mentioned – depending on

the circumstances – but I don’t want to confuse you so I’ll

stick with Information Seminar and Flash Interviews.

An information or recruiting seminar, or event is a gathering hosted

by the employer for prospective employees or applicants to learn

more about the position, what it entails, and about the business.

These can be either OPEN events or byinvitation.  An open event might beconducted by a large company wherethey advertise the seminar and peopleturn up.  A small business is more likelyto conduct an invitation event, whichmeans you choose who you invite.The information event can also be for anumber of positions, not just one.

SO WHAT ARE THEY?

I had a client who was opening a brand new retail shop in a regionalcentre. He advertised all the positions and then conducted a recruitingseminar. He had about 30 replies to the advertisement, which was a lot fora country centre. They were all invited to attend to hear what the businesswas about and what the positions entailed. He had 23 turn up. So no timewas wasted on those no­shows. In just over one and a half hours he knewhe had a store manager, and two full time and two part­time staff of thecalibre he wanted. Just imagine the time if he had set up interviews for all30 applicants individually?!

Have I sparked your interest? Join me for Part Five when I will cover theentire process. You don’t want to miss it!

Until next time...
