Metrics play a huge part in how we quantify success but measuring quality of hire can be elusive.

We’ll cover the reasons behind turn-over and how to identify what’s causing turn over at your company and the speaker will offer some practical tips for pre- and post-hire strategies to improve quality of hire that you can put into effect today.
