Last week’s #HDIchat was hosted by Ed Lee (@HDIvChapter), who led the discussion about desired skills when hiring for the support center. There’s an upside and a downside to “hire for attitude, train for skill,” according to one participant. How do you match the skills you’re looking for to the needs of your organization? Do certifications count? What about the location of your organization? Great questions and shared answers.
Read the recap to hear what participants had to say, and then keep the conversation going on HDIConnect!
Join us again this Friday, September 23, for our next #HDIchat (topic: Windows 10)!
