Understand how to plan, carry out and effectively use digital interviews.
As more people work from home because of the pandemic and as a result of worker/employer preferences, the traditional employee selection interview is moving from face-to-face to digital approaches. But few managers or other interviewers have been systematically trained on how to conduct effective digital interviews and put the interview results within the larger context of the so-called weight of the evidence approach to choosing a worker for a job. This topic will help those responsible for conducting digital interviews understand how to plan, carry out and effectively use digital interviews most effectively
