Recruitment course outline

Who should attend?

Everybody who wants to learn effective ways to improve their recruitment skills.

Why should you attend?

With the unemployment rate at record lows, it is becoming more challenging to recruit staff, let alone outstanding people. If business’s recruit the wrong person there is a huge (and often unmeasured cost) in decreased productivity, time spent councelling poor performers, increased stress and low work morale. We strongly believe in the following saying:

This course provides participants with the skills and a process to select the best possible person.

Major Course Objectives:

• To give participants a process they can take away and use.
• To provide participants with the skills to interview effectively.
• Enable participants to make much better decisions.

Key content areas:

• Designing a person specification for their work environment
• Understanding the structure of an effective advertisement
• Screening CV’s
• The steps involved in phoning a prospective applicant
• Screening all candidates to decide on the best applicants for the interview
• Interview preparation – questions, structure, room set up etc
• Conducting an interview
• Reviewing the information received and screening
• Reference checking
• Making the decision

How it works:

The course is very participative and interactive, participants are involved in small and large group discussions. To ensure the most effective learning, participants will practice at least one interview and will receive 1:1 feedback.

Participants leave with the tools to go back and run an effective recruitment process as well as a professional and very effective interview.
