The one-day training course in recruitment and selection is ideal for managers with limited experience of recruitment. It develops skills and confidence in interviewing new team members, to produce an accurate assessment, as well as understanding the whole selection process.
Course Aim
This practical one-day recruitment and selection course provides delegates with the skills, knowledge and confidence to recruit and select the right team member for the job. We recommend that the recruitment and selection training programme takes into consideration your company's recruitment and selection process. As a result, this will ensure that the training embeds best practice across the organisation. Importantly, delegates go on to practice their interviewing skills during the course. We use either internal candidates (not attending the programme and unfamiliar to the participants); or candidates external to the organisation. Consequently, this provides participants with more of a "real life" experience.
