[global hr forum 2011] pre-employment screening within a talent acquisition strategy
DESCRIPTION
For the past twenty years, global research firm Gallup has interviewed and researched on how to become successful, targeting thousands of managers who made outstanding performance. Before the research, researchers hypothesized that the key elements of their success lie in excellent strategies and plans, strong motivation, and smooth communication. Contrary to what they expected, however, it turned out that “recruitment” played the most important role in their success. In this session, world's best HR professionals will discuss about how successful companies attract and retain great talents.TRANSCRIPT
