Dr. Leanne Buehler of Corvirtus a Featured Speaker at HR.com's Quality of Hire Virtual Conference

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO--(Marketwire - Mar 15, 2012) - Leanne Buehler, director of experience solutions for Corvirtus, will present a free webcast for HR professionals on the topic of using assessments for successful hiring. The webcast is part of the Quality of Hire Virtual Conference to be presented by HR.com on March 22-23.

Dr. Buehler's session, Beyond Skills Assessment: Identifying Candidates Who Truly Fit, is scheduled for Friday, March 23 at 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM ET. She will talk about proven methods for identifying candidates who will perform well, fit in with teams and the company culture, and stay long enough to make a difference. Included will be examples of companies, including UMB and Royal Caribbean Cruises, which have improved quality of hire by measuring "intangibles" -- such as the desire to treat customers with care and a "we-over-me" attitude -- and the impact of these initiatives on business and customer experience.

Register here to attend Dr. Buehler's webcast. The conference is complimentary for all HR.com members (membership is free, here).

"Companies tend to focus on finding people with the necessary skills to do the job," said Dr. Buehler. "But they shouldn't stop there. If an employee doesn't fit with the company's culture and values, he or she is not going to be successful or engaged. Focusing up front on identifying employee candidates with the attitudes and characteristics that fit with your culture and brand is critically important since you can't train a person to fit," she added. In this webcast, Dr. Buehler will offer insight into the importance of analyzing and identifying the core behaviors and attitudes that make your organization "tick" and developing assessments for measuring those qualities.

Attendees are eligible for HRCI recertification credits and IHR credits. In addition, attendees can network with other HR professionals and visit exhibitor booths. The conference opens online at 9:00 a.m. ET and closes at 5:00 p.m. ET. Attendees can enter and exit the show throughout the day as their schedule permits.
