Wheaton, IL (PRWEB) September 23, 2006 -- KnowledgeShift Inc., a professional services firm specializing in distribution of intellectual capital and learning tools, announces a new distribution agreement with St. Aubin, Haggerty and Associates (SH&A), a human resource consulting firm based in the Chicago area.

The program “The Effective Interview: 8 Practices for Hiring the Best” takes a fresh approach to teaching hiring managers how to effectively prepare, conduct and follow through on the total talent acquisition process. SH&A enables organizations to deploy their behavioral interviewing techniques through a blended learning solution that allows organizations to cost-effectively deploy this program throughout the enterprise.

Hire Desk’s Pulse Report, dated September 16, 2006, outlines findings on a survey conducted to determine which activities in the employee hiring process provided the best impact on job stability and decreased turn-over. They found that organizations that used a variety of techniques -- interviewer training, behavior or competency-based interviewing structures, team or other multi-interviewer approaches, various quantitative scoring or consensus approaches guaranteed a greater success rate. All of these processes are addressed in the SH&A “The Effective Interviewing: 8 Practices for Hiring the Best” program.
   
Donna de St.Aubin, Principal with SH&A states, “Hiring mistakes cost on average 1-3 times the annual salary for each position and for key positions can be in excess of ten times salary. By establishing best practices and utilizing good interviewing techniques, you can increase your chances of hiring the best and decrease your risks associated with employee turn-over.”
