Consultant: ‘Hire slow’ – and with exceptional care
When you bring someone into your organization, it is about changing dynamics, for the better or for the worse. Every single person either raises the bar or brings it back down.
Hiring and recruiting should be done every single day.
Kelly Wirges, president and chief executive officer of ProMax Training and Consulting of Omaha, Neb., made that one of her messages for her audience at a workshop Friday, Feb. 7, titled “Effective Hiring and Recruiting Practices in Today’s Complex Ad Sales Environment.”
Wirges began the session by asking the audience to answer the following question, “Newspapers ____ at recruiting and hiring?” Those in the audience of about a dozen people shouted answers such as “suck” and “stink.”
During her workshop at the New England Newspaper and Press Association’s winter convention at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Wirges introduced her systems and methods for powerful hiring and interviewing techniques.
“Hiring and recruiting is an element of our responsibility in building a high-performance team,” Wirges said. “It is a deal breaker; you have to do all of the right things.”...

Question of the Week
Mar 03, 2014 12:00 am
My paper has a subscription to a stock house, and I'd like to use a stock photo of a person climbing the front steps of a triple-decker to illustrate an article about new housing that does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Are there any issues that I should consider before I use the photo?
