The course was designed to cover critical business and professional development topics in the shortest time possible. With a wealth of hands-on exercises, the course keeps you engaged and help you retain critical skills.

Organizing a recruiting campaign takes a little planning and some knowledge of where to find the best candidates. RECRUITING FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE is the brand-new companion title to HIGH PERFORMANCE HIRING and is full of helpful tips on how to develop a recruiting plan and target labor sources that will attract the best people.
