It's your choice

The aim
To provide managers with all the necessary skills to conduct an effective recruitment interview.


About the programme
A selection interview is a bit like detective work. Suspects must be eliminated until the right person is found, whether from inside or outside the organisation. Making the right selection choice means knowing the budget was spent well, a valuable asset has been acquired and that colleagues will be motivated by the new team member.
Split into three scenarios, this entertaining programme introduces some managers who get the costly decision wrong by making common mistakes.
Ethelred the Unready is unprepared, knows little about the job or the candidate, and is constantly interrupted by colleagues as the interview progresses. Ivan the Terrible would rather trumpet his own opinions than encourage the candidate to talk. And Gillian the Silent allows the candidate to take over, and fails to probe or voice her doubts...
Targeted at less experienced staff conducting recruitment interviews, this engaging programme uses the memorable 'wrong-way, right-way' approach to teach the invaluable skills of effective interviewing.
It also includes theInterviewee preparationprogramme, which teaches job candidates how to research a company and question interviewers to find out the things that matter to them. This is suitable for internal candidates, as well as for schools and colleges to prepare graduates for the job market.

-Prepare and conduct effective selection interviews with confidence and skill
-Candidates will be suitably prepared for all aspects of a job interview
