Recruitment & Selection
Duration: 2 Days
When does recruitment stop and selection begin? Attracting candidates is in itself a self-selection tool for candidates and a promotion opportunity for your organisation.
More than 96% of all selection involves interviewing, and in some cases, research has shown that interviewing can be one of the least effective predictors of performance in the job. Many people responsible for selection have not been formally trained in interviewing skills, whilst many candidates are very experienced in interviewing techniques. With the host of equal opportunities legislation which governs recruitment and selection processes, those responsible for recruitment and selection should develop their interviewing skills towards the competence/behavioural based approaches to ensure stronger validity of candidates to performance on the job.
Course Designed For
