Why is Interviewing Candidates so Difficult with Anne Donavon
Employers wear a lot of hats from accounting to marketing to people managing. And there's a lot that goes into managing employees.

During this presentation, Anne will talk about the ins and outs of interviewing potential employees, including:
the challenges employers face when interviewing
the potential traps employers can fall into when they interview candidates (the biases we bring to the interview table)
the guidelines employers should follow when interviewing (the questions they should and should not ask)
and creating a great interview experience for a potential employee that can help sway their decision to join the team or not
Anne focuses on employee retention and creating a great interview experience can increase employee retention. She has facilitated the following presentations and workshops:
Succession Planning for the Future for the Montana Nonprofit Association
Creating a Great Candidate experience for Direct Employers Association
Help! for Gallatin Valley HR Association
