Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

After an interview the hiring manager says "I didn't like them", with no explanation, and the decision is made. Here are 369 tools to make hiring decisions on evidence: 233 ready-to-use question lists, procedures, checklists and templates, 86 models and methods, 37 working files and 13 services shown on screen.

Open a lecture, take the scorecard template, and use it in your next interview.

Why hiring decisions are made on feelings

Interviewers ask different questions, write notes nobody reads, and decide in the debrief by whoever speaks most confidently. Competencies exist on paper, but nobody scores against them, so the same bias repeats in every hire.

What changes after this course

Every interview has a scorecard with competencies and rating scales, interviewers collect STAR evidence, decisions are calibrated, and assessment centres and job profiles support objective choices.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

Once, when selecting finance directors, I used a general mental ability test to choose the best among the finalists. It worked well and gave good results, and I noticed the candidates liked it too: they took the test and immediately got a report, so even rejected candidates left with something useful.
