When can you start?

The aim
To enable interviewers to follow a logical route towards making a good recruitment decision.


About the programme
This humorous drama, using real-life scenarios, shows a logical sequence of events for getting the right person for the job, which begins long before the interview process.

The first step is investigating what the job entails and the skills and personality of the right candidate. The programme shows the mistakes that a manager is making by not thinking about what person would best fit the role, putting out vague advertisements and conducting confused interviews.

Instead the manager focuses on compatibility within the team, close scrutiny of applications, a searching interview technique, and measuring candidates against the job and not each other.

Suitable for all managers and team leaders, this insightful programme focuses on preparation and job specifications, rather than the interview itself.


The key outcomes
-Be properly prepared at every stage of the recruitment process.
-You won't waste time interviewing the wrong candidates.
-Recruit the right person first time, every time.
