Authoria Webcast Prescribes Steps to Improve Quality of Hire

Recruiting Expert Lou Adler to Present Best Practices for Strengthening Partnership Between Recruiters and Hiring Managers

Waltham, MA – April 16, 2007 – 

Authoria, Inc., the leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced a complimentary webcast that will explore how employers can optimize the “quality of hire” of new employees and job candidates.

In this online event, Lou Adler, a leading recruiting-industry expert, will show how strengthening the partnership between recruiters and hiring managers enables organizations to improve their quality of hire. Along with Authoria executives, Adler will discuss the specific steps that employers can take to find, attract, and retain the “best-fit” talent, including:

• Defining quality at the outset of a hiring cycle,
• Making it easy and attractive for hiring managers and recruiters to work together,
• Providing mechanisms for manager feedback throughout the hiring process, and
• Building appropriate screening criteria.

Quality of hire has emerged as a vital measurement of recruiting effectiveness, joining the traditional benchmarks of time-to-fill and cost-per-hire. Authoria’s integrated talent management (ITM) solutions enable companies to address quality of hire throughout the talent-management lifecycle, from recruiting through performance management, compensation, succession planning, and learning/employee development.

Webcast attendees will learn:

• Secrets of success in “taking the assignment,”
• How to understand, in advance, what the hiring needs for a position are,
• How to forge active partnerships between hiring managers and recruiters, and
• How to prevent bad hiring decisions.
