Training Course Overview:
The aim of the  recruitment interviewing training course is for participants to understand selection strategy, appreciate the role of the recruitment interview, it's benefits, how to conduct the interview and applying key skills used during the preparation and delivery of the interview.

A variety of training methods are used on the training course, including syndicate and group discussion, exercises, demonstrations and 'mini skill practice'.  

A feature of the training course is the use of a Knowledge/Skill Checklist - a list of the knowledge and skills being developed. The participant self-rates at the start and finish of the day, to establish the extent to which they have benefited from the workshop. This also gives them, and their line manager, further analysis of their strengths, highlighting any further development needs.

Delegates will be supplied with full support documentation, supplied in spiral bound format.

A mini exhibition of interpersonal skill books, additional handouts and 'hints and tips' sheets will be provided in the training room, for delegates to visit during 'down-time' e.g. at breaks; finishing an exercise before others.
·
Prior to delivery of the recruitment interviewing training course, we host a telephone meeting with you to establish the nature of the delegate's roles, their strengths and development areas and any areas of the course you would like us to emphasise.
