Are resumes and interviews 100% accurate?

Resumes and interviews are important tools in the hiring process, but won’t fully reveal a candidate’s abilities.

Ten essential skills, including analytical skills, industry knowledge, and spreadsheet proficiency, are “must-haves” for new accounting hires.

You’ll need an action plan to measure those skills, because HR staff and hiring managers can’t know every skill needed.
