Free New Course for Managers
Attention MANAGERS and EMPLOYERS
You probably always hear about needing better software, and that may be true, but remember that faster cars require better drivers. The software is not the limiting factor. Not even close.
I know you are busy, so to move straight to the point: we have put together a free tutorial to help you hire quality energy-modelers, or which energy-modelers you should retain (who deserves a raise?)
In a nutshell, the course covers:
- The 5 factors to evaluate in an applicant
- 20 example interview questions to help evaluate these factors (with answers)
- Red Flags to watch out for
- Ingredients to build an awesome team
