Surveys show that for foreign companies it is a big challenge to find and attract the right talents not only but specially in work locations in 2nd tier cities. An inefficient hiring process and wrong recruiting methods often lead to finding and hiring of unqualified staff. Getting the wrong people into your company most likely results in lower work performance, more staff turnover and therefore will increase your cost.
This seminar will give participants a comprehensive overview on how to increase their knowledge about recruiting especially for key management and technical positions and how to make your company more attractive for talents. Our experts Eckhard Michel and Sebastian Wegener will use best practice examples from an HR benchmark analysis which they conducted among 10 MNCs and a Chinese SOE and from their daily work.
The key takeaways of this seminar are:
Ø Get a comprehensive overview on the recruiting process including preparation and planning, recruiting process and post-processing
