Who is it for?
Owners, Directors, Managers, HR/personnel who are  involved in recruiting staff into their business.

Do you know that poor recruitment can cost an organisation sums estimated to be between £50,000 and £250,000 depending upon the post!

The recruitment and selection of staff is at the cornerstone of the company success.  A poorly thought through process will almost certainly have repercussions at a later date when it is found that the person is not suitable for the job they have been employed for.

They not only have to be managed out of the business, which in itself is a costly procedure, but you then need to recruit, induct and train their replacement. 
If you are spending time and money to advertise, interview and train staff, you need to get it right.  Can you afford not to?

This highly practical course gives you the skills to reduce the risk of getting the wrong person. It is essential for anybody who is responsible for recruiting staff into the business and covers the skills and processes required for successful recruitment interviews.

It covers the key requirements, including understanding the current Legislation that affects recruitment, avoiding discrimination, getting the person specification right, advertising the post, short listing and undertaking the interview. Many recruitment interviews are very superficial and do not get the right information from the candidate. Delegates get a chance to practice effective interview techniques, all of which will reduce the risk of appointing the wrong person.

This highly practical workshop will ensure that you reduce the risk of recruiting an unsuitable applicant, as you will learn the skills required for undertaking a successful recruitment process.
