There is considerable evidence that some recruitment and selection interviews are no more successful in identifying the potentially good employee than if it had been left to chance. An unskilled interviewer or a poorly conducted interview may achieve results which are no better than if candidates had been selected at random from a list of names. The repercussions that result from interviewing badly can be damaging to everyone: the organisation, the rest of the workforce and the new employee.
But successful and effective selection interviewing is a professional skill which can be learned like any other. This training course will show you how.
Suitable for those who are, or will be, conducting recruitment and selection interviews and wish to build their confidence and effectiveness in this skill.
