Tips for Selecting Best Job Candidates to Fill Positions, Avoid Turnover Fee

The article, “Tips for Selecting Best Job Candidates to Fill Positions, Avoid Turnover Fee,” featured in The Rheumatologist, provided best practices for filling an open position.

Larry Lee provided advice on interviewing candidates.

Carefully review the application and look for any statement that may indicate potential fraudulent history, he said, such as stating that the reason for leaving a job was because their “employer accused me of fabricating my time sheets.”
