This webinar is sponsored by Northrim Bank and BEI for a free webinar, but registration is required to receive your ticket.

Many businesses need to hire new employees as they ramp up for the busy holiday season. This is the perfect time to take a closer look at your company's hiring process. Is your hiring process getting you the great employees your business needs? Is your hiring process also fair and free from potential bias? In this webinar, join UAA professors and researchers Kori Callison and Christopher Lake as they discuss job descriptions, employee screening techniques, pre-employment assessments, and interviewing techniques.

Attendees will learn:
- how to ensure employees have the necessary skills and abilities
- research-based tips for improving the job interview
- common sources of bias during the hiring process
- how to use metrics to evaluate the effectiveness and fairness of the hiring process

This webinar will be recorded on November 15, from 12-1:00 p.m. (AKST). If you miss it, you can still register to watch the recorded version and you will be automatically forwarded after the live event.
