Webinar Addresses Best Practices in Talent Acquisition Systems and Performance Management

Effective talent management (http://www.hr.com/stories/1205793813582) begins at the point of hire, incorporating a philosophy of assessments and employee development (http://www.hr.com/stories/1205793813582) that weave throughout the employment lifecycle. In the upcoming webinar, "Best Practices in Talent Acquisition Systems and Performance Management", co-sponsored by nowHIRE and Halogen Software, Julie White, Ph.D. of Impact Achievement Group will describe how companies benefit from automated hiring systems that are built on a solid philosophy of validated assessment and ongoing employee development. The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

"Recruiting and on-boarding phases are critical dependencies in the performance management (http://www.hr.com/stories/1205793813582) process," said Dr. White, an internationally known speaker on employee performance, leadership development and communications. "Automated hiring systems that incorporate trait-based assessments go beyond eligibility to determine suitability among candidates. This produces data with 'long legs', that contribute to employees' growth and development."

Such Web-based systems provide value well beyond selection, Dr. White added, to influence training, coaching, succession planning and team development. Also joining the discussion will be Lorna Daly from Halogen Software and CJ Donnelly of nowHIRE.
