The Importance of Interviewer Training
Interviewing effectively is recognized as one of the most essential skills in business, yet few receive proper training in this area. Approximately 90% of hiring managers lack formal training, despite acknowledging the skill's significance. This gap leads to ineffective hiring practices, as many interviewers approach the process casually rather than systematically. By emphasizing proper interviewer training, companies can enhance their ability to assess talent accurately and ensure better job matches for candidates.
