Bloomington, IL – Today DeGarmo Group announced that Human Resource Executive has recognized DeGarmo Group’s Interviewer Calibration System as a Top HR Idea for 2009 in its March issue. The focus of the article is related to the implementation of the Interviewer Calibration System at US Cellular (www.uscellular.com).

According to Anthony Adorno, Chief Operating Officer at DeGarmo Group, “we’re honored to be recognized by the editors of Human Resource Executive for our idea and its implementation at US Cellular. Going back almost a year ago to the origin of the idea, we knew we had something that offered a high value solution to a high cost issue. We’re very excited for this process and the feedback we’ve received on it”. The Interviewer Calibration System allows organizations to maximize the consistency and effectiveness of their employment interviews by “calibrating” interviewers’ rating processes and judgments across locations. Adorno also stated “The concept is really applying more technology to traditional frame-of-reference training techniques that have proven to be effective strategies for improving the accuracy and reliability of interview ratings”.

In its “Best HR Ideas” article, Human Resource Executive stated “what we like best about this idea is that it uses collaborative Web-meeting technology to enable several different interview coaches in multiple locations to think more similarly about the interview process.”

The System is a highly-efficient and low cost method for making improvements in the interview process – arguably the most important and highly-visible step in making personnel selection decisions.
