Talent Selection and Onboarding

Hiring someone is a big decision--and the process doesn’t end when the offer is accepted. This course will help you understand how to select candidates fairly, make stronger hiring decisions, and create onboarding experiences that help new employees feel prepared, supported, and ready to contribute. You’ll learn how to move candidates through the selection process, create clear screening criteria, ask better interview questions, use assessment tools, and evaluate candidates with evidence instead of “gut feel.” You’ll also explore the legal and documentation practices that help make hiring decisions fair, consistent, and defensible. From there, you’ll shift into onboarding: building 30/60/90-day plans, designing meaningful first-week activities, incorporating compliance training, and measuring whether onboarding is working. This course is a great fit for current HR professionals, managers, team leads, and anyone interested in starting a career in HR, recruiting, or talent management.
