  • Fantasy Interviewing Camp: How to Make Candidate Selection a Major-League Process

  • By Paul Feeney, President, Sanford Rose Associates

  • Travel with us instead to Fantasy Interviewing Camp, where Major League players make the hard-to-master process of candidate attraction and selection look easy.

    Note that we said "attraction" as well as "selection," because interviewing is a two-way street. It's great that you have chosen Mary as better qualified than Joe, but what if she has not chosen you?

    Oh, yes: And leave your baggage behind. If your organization is like most others around the world, interviewing is a hit-or-miss process, with more misses than hits. Let's take a fresh look.

    Who is the star of the show?

    At Fantasy Interviewing Camp, the candidate is king. That's because only one of two things can happen: The person will be offered the job, or the person will not be offered the job.

The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
