Peer interviews can be a powerful tool to help make sure the entire team is invested in the success of new employees and the business overall.

The same can be said for behavior-based interview techniques and using a weighted decision-making matrix on hiring. Those tools and more were among the keys to success highlighted at Studer Community Institute's Hiring Talent workshop at Hillcrest Baptist Church.

The keynote trainers for Hiring Talent, Amie Remington, general counsel for Landrum Human Resources Co., and Kristine Rushing, chief operating officer of Beck Partners, shared how much turnover can cost a company — and what you can do to avoid that loss.

How can behavior-based interview techniques help your business? Listen to Rushing, above.
