“We built a ‘License to Hire’ program for our hiring managers. We wanted to augment our own best practices with thought leadership external to IBM, so we leveraged content created by John Vlastelica, one of my favorite facilitators and thought leaders, into our training. We’ve already deployed it to over 17,000 people. We use NPS to measure effectiveness, and have received amazing feedback so far.”

No, sorry, this is sold for teams only. It’s primarily sold based on your total company size, with unlimited use for 2+ year contracts.

Hiring managers and interviewers focused on white collar roles in a corporate environment are the primary audience. There’s good content in here for recruiters and HR professionals, as well, but if you want content built just for recruiting teams, please check out our online recruiter training page.

Each episode is about 3-6 minutes. There is a core 1-hour training that many clients start with for hiring managers or interviewers, and then there’s additional content – broken out by level 1, 2, 3 – that goes much deeper. Because you can customize your learning journey by role, you get to determine how long the training is for each user-type. There is 7 hours of total content, including 1.5 hours worth of content focused on diversity for hiring managers. Most clients set learning goals of 30-60 minutes per month.

It might not be cost effective if you only want 1 hour of total content. Overall, this is not a basic training – the total content has level 1, 2, and 3 training, where level 3 is quite advanced.

NPS ratings from critical hiring managers who typically don’t like HR training is very high – averaging over 80 in the latest reviews.  Why?  Because it’s built for smart, impatient hiring managers, with content that’s practical, credibly delivered, and engaging.  While the content starts with some good core, foundational content, it expands into much more advanced techniques and topics.  Download the overview doc to see all of the content covered.

For example, there are learning paths built specifically for interviewers that leaves out  content that would only apply to hiring managers.  And, you can also link to your own custom content to complement the existing content on the platform, so that your employees learn your specific process, your role expectations, your definitions of “what good looks like,” and more. You can engage Recruiting Toolbox to help you build custom content.  Contact us to learn more. 

Yes, we can use our online training as a foundation, and then build custom, offline, live training to create something more interactive, with small breakout group discussions, paired practice, and live Q&A – all critical if you’re trying to drive real behavior change.  We can also build custom guides –interviewing guides tied to your competency models, for example – to complement the online training.

Our Predicting Success and Diversity Interview Training programs are available with Latin Spanish and German captions. Some of our content is also available with French and Japanese captions.
