Over the course of my career, I've made over 200 individual hiring decisions at my own companies, spent millions on paychecks, benefits, and withholding taxes, and once made payroll for 728 consecutive weeks. I've also helped other companies in a variety of industries achieve dramatically better hiring results for a wide range of skilled positions. And, at a few points in my career, I've sat on the other side of the interview table as a job applicant, watching a manager or business owner completely blow the interview, causing me to decide to seek employment elsewhere. I’ve put all of that experience into a system for hiring and keeping great people, and brought it to you in this course.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
