These are the unsung heroes that ensure that organizations achieve and sustain maximum human capital competitive advantage! In this episode our topic is, "How HR Helps (or hurts) Retention in the Hiring Process!" In this episode we explore the hiring process situations where our HR HEROES actually are SUPER-HEROES!  How? The mission for our HR Hero is to simultaneously defend the organization against "bad apples" while trying to lure in and retain "good apples."

They will say all the right words, pledge their undying loyalty and use every tool of manipulation and trickery to [...] VISIT THE SITE FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW NOTES!   © Courtney Anderson Enterprises LLC  CourtneyAnderson.com [email protected]
