Recruitment Skills

Recruitment Skills - 2 Days

Applicable For: All managers

Overview

Successful managers are first and foremost good interviewers. They have the ability to identify and attract talent. They know how to accurately profile the ideal candidate for a position and recruit people who can both fulfil the immediate job requirements and grow with it.

This course will provide delegates with the skills required to accurately assess a candidate’s ability to do the job, but also their willingness, motivation, judgement and character.

Delegates will leave the course with a clear process for planning and conducting a recruitment campaign. They will have an opportunity to develop their interviewing skills by developing a strong framework of questions and the opportunity to practice.

By improving their technique they will gain confidence in their ability to decide whether a candidate is appropriate for the role or not, which often speeds up the process of recruitment and reduces staff turnover due to recruitment errors.
